    This document discusses the importance of macronutrient timing, specifically carbohydrates and proteins, for athletes and exercise performance. It agrees that carbohydrates are important fuels for high-intensity exercise and muscle glycogen stores. Post-exercise intake of carbohydrates is important for faster muscle glycogen synthesis. While meal frequency alone may not impact weight loss, it can improve appetite and satiety. Further research is still needed on the impact of nutrient timing on exercise performance and weight loss.

    Response to Sarah Snyder

    I agree with you that carbohydrates are very significant for the muscle and central

    nervous systems to operate. Besides, carbohydrates do fuel extended high-intensity performance.

    I concur with you that high-density endurance activities and resistance–based workouts on

    carbohydrates as a fuel source for oxidative phosphorylation. I agree that glycogen is stored in

    limited capacities in the liver and skeletal muscle (Cermak et al.,2013). I concur with you that

    the deletion of these stores is related to fatigue due to reduced work rates, impaired skill, and

    concentration. It is evident from the non-athletic populace, changing the frequency of meals has

    indicated a limited effect on weight loss and body composition. I agree that studies already show

    that meal frequency can also improve appetite and satiety; however, further research is required

    to scrutinize the impact of exercise and changed meal frequencies on weight loss (Pasiakos et

    al.,2014). I agree with you that during pre-practice r even competition, there is a need to

    consume small but regular snacks. I concur with you in that pre-practice des fuel goals to

    promote high carbohydrates available for particular sessions by taking carbohydrates before or

    throughout the session or during recovery from past sessions.

    On the same token, I agree with you that post-exercise intake of carbohydrates is

    essential. I agree with you that muscle glycogen synthesis s speedier in case carbohydrates are

    consumed immediately after exercise as disparate to waiting numerous hours. I agree with you

    that mouth rinsing is encouraged for weight loss as the contact of carbohydrates with the mouth

    and oral cavity could kindle parts of the brain and central nervous system to improve the view of

    well-being and raise self-chosen work outputs (Thomas et al.,2016). I concur with you that a

    small number of researchers have studied the effect of nutrient timing using highly trained

    athletes.
