        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "The role of protein in back-to-back recovery is often framed narrowly around muscle repair. That's real, but it's incomplete."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "What you eat in the final hour before sleep on a heavy training day has a direct bearing on overnight recovery. Protein consumed before bed, particularly slower-digesting sources, provides a sustained supply of amino acids during the hours when muscle repair is most active."

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Athletes who train twice in consecutive days and skip breakfast are borrowing against their own capacity. Overnight fasting depletes liver glycogen, which the body uses to maintain blood glucose."

      "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."
