2. Prep your post-sweat breakfast

“Fill a [container] with Greek yoghurt, oats, cashews and blueberries and put it in the fridge overnight,” says performance nutritionist Dr Kevin Currell. “Much less sugar than shop-bought bircher pots.”

The MyFitnessPal app isn’t just for kilojoule counting. “It has the macros of almost any product,” says sports nutritionist Emma Rose. “It adds everything up so you can keep a running tally.”

4. Be fit-food shrewd

“Healthy” energy bars often aren’t all they seem. “Read the label: the sugars should be no more than half the carb content,” says Currell. “Swerve any sweeteners you can’t pronounce.”

5. Plan for period cravings

“Ensure you’re eating enough food – and at regular intervals – to keep blood-sugar levels steady and support your decision-making capacity,” says dietician Aisling Pigott.
