Sports Nutrition

The basis for success in sports is a well balanced diet. People who train and compete a lot have great difficulty in satisfying their total needs of easy accessible energy through their diet. This is where  Vitargo® comes into the picture.
It is not easy to give exact recommendations on how much Vitargo should be used. In order to do this requires more detailed information e.g. the balance in the diet, how much energy is used, the person's weight, their sex, the type of sport etc. All of these parameters are very individual and therefore differ from person to person.
General guidelines on how to use Vitargo are written on the packaging from which the individual can later work out for him/her self the necessary dosage to achieve the desired effects.
If you would like to know more about how your diet can affect your sporting performance, you can find further information under the headings: The Diet; Energy Distribution and Physical Activities.

How to eat as an athlete

For example: Intensive training's plate model

If you play sport and are a high-energy user, the plate model would look something like this:
½ plate with carbohydrates (pasta, rice, potatoes)
1/4 plate with meat, fish or chicken
1/4 plate with vegetables

At mealtimes you would eat brown or white bread, drink milk or water and normally eat fruit as a dessert. Depending on your energy requirements you may eat one or several of these portions and with extra hard training may also include extra portions of pasta, potatoes or bread and drink more liquids.

Before a competition or an extra hard training session one doesn't want to carry around these extra portions so Vitargo is an excellent compliment. You eat according to the plate method till you are full up and then in between mealtimes supplement your diet with carbohydrates in the form of Vitargo.
