        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Your digestive system isn't fully switched on first thing in the morning. Blood flow is still prioritising other processes, gastric motility is slower, and the kind of food that would sit fine at noon can feel genuinely uncomfortable when you're trying to squat or sprint an hour after waking."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "If you have 60–90 minutes before training, a small amount of easily digestible carbohydrate is usually enough to prime the session without causing issues. A banana, a slice of white toast with a thin layer of jam, or a small serving of a carbohydrate gel or drink all work well here."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "For sessions under 45 minutes, pre-session nutrition is usually sufficient. For anything longer, or for high-intensity work that extends past the hour mark, taking on carbohydrate during the session becomes relevant."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Post-session nutrition after an early morning workout tends to get neglected because life takes over. You finish at 7am, you're showering, commuting, getting kids ready, and suddenly it's 10am and you haven't eaten a proper meal."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Treat fuelling as part of your preparation, not an afterthought. The science only helps when it is applied consistently: plan around your training and competition, fuel before you feel you need to, and review what works for you over time. Science in Sport products are designed to make evidence-based fuelling simple to get right, so you arrive prepared and perform with confidence."
