Diet and sports nutrition focus on tailoring food, fluids, and supplements to fuel exercise, boost performance, and speed recovery, emphasizing carbs for energy, protein for muscle repair, and proper hydration, with timing (pre, during, post-workout) and individual needs (sport, intensity) being crucial for athletes to optimize health and reach goals. A balanced diet with whole foods, lean proteins, fruits, veggies, and whole grains forms the base, adjusted for higher demands than general nutrition.
