Gluten-free carbohydrates for energy
Rice, quinoa, buckwheat and sweet potatoes are excellent sources of complex carbohydrates, perfect for pre-race fueling and post-workout recovery.
Watch out for nutritional gaps
A poorly balanced gluten-free diet can be low in fiber and iron: it's important to vary the whole gluten-free grains available and periodically monitor blood values.
Supplementation and safe bars
Many energy bars contain gluten as a thickener: always choosing certified products avoids unpleasant surprises during races and intense training.
