Here's the short: I've never carb loaded before. Fighting at the weekend in an amateur bout on sunday, 3x3 mins. Is there any point in carb loading, and if so what should and shouldn't I be consuming and when?
The long(er): I have used the search function but for some reason I couldn't find anything, even though I'm sure carb loading for MMA must have been discussed here before. A google search produces various results mostly aimed towards endurance athletes, so I am slightly confused. An important factor in my case also, would be the fact that I am a heavyweight currently at 240lbs so cutting weight is something I will not be worrying about for this fight.
Thanks in advance for any advice
