                                According to sports dietitians, an optimal carb-loading strategy can increase muscle glycogen stores by 20-50%, providing a critical energy boost for endurance events like marathons. Knowing what food to eat when carb loading is key to maximizing these stores without experiencing unwanted gastrointestinal distress on race day.
