Table 1. Dietetic objectives of the different macronutrients according to the type of training performed in swimming.

Macronutrient	Type of session	Diary intake: 20-25% of energy intakeObjective
Carbohydrates	High volume and low intensity sessions	Diary Intake: 6g/kg/day
		Pre-training: Avoid carbohydrates intakes on the previous 2 hours
		Training: Avoid carbohydrates intakes
		Post-training: Intake of 1g/kg (if the next day there is a high intensity effort)
	High intensity sessions	Diary intake: 10-12g/kg/day
		Pre-training: 1-2g/kg on the previous 3-4 hours (avoiding ingesting on the 45 previous minutes)
		Training: 60-90g/hour (rate 2:1 between glucose:fructose) if the volume is high
		Post-training: Intake of 1g/kg (if the next day there is a high intensity effort)
Protein	Dairy recommendations	Diary Intake: 2g/kg/day
		Post-training: 0.3g/kg + 1g/kg of carbohydrates (if the next day there is a high intensity effort)
Fats*	High volume and low intensity sessions	Diary intake: 30-35% of energy intake
	High intensity sessions	Diary intake: 20-25% of energy intake

*The daily intake of saturated fatty acids should not overcome the 10% of the energy intake
