Performance athletes seeking speed or explosiveness should include carbohydrates, preferably from fruit and honey, followed by sweet potatoes or white rice if fruit is not tolerated.

“if you are a performance athlete meaning you are mma you are running you are sprinting you are doing uh non-endurance type exercise things that require speed or explosiveness i do think including carbohydrates is going to be a good choice for you in general and i would recommend including fruit and honey as the main sources and then moving to things like sweet potatoes or white rice if you don't tolerate the fruit well”
