1. Sports drinks

DESIGNED to be packed full of quick-release sugars, sports drinks offer an ideal amount of carbohydrate that is quickly absorbed and stored as the body’s preferred energy source (glycogen). After a weigh-in, boxers require about 60g per hour of carbohydrate to continually supply the body with the nutrients it needs to store as energy. In 500ml of Lucozade Sport there is approximately 30g of carbohydrate, making it an ideal post-weigh-in drink for boxers.
