 During base phase periods where we would like the athlete to lean out

 During shorter workouts lasting 30min-2hrs to sustain energy without and insulin spike. (If they are working out longer than 60min we usually recommend one packet before and one packet afterwards during base phase training.

 During tapering - To help satiate and keep an athlete with a high metabolism lean and full of energy before a race.  In the final 3-5 days before a taper for a race 1-3 packets / day.

 It could be used during build phases or higher energy work loads but would need to be timed around low energy demand workouts where glycogen stores are more topped off.

 Somewhat less during build phases and or intensive multi workotus in a day schedule where an athlete would need to restore glycogen.

 Usually try to time it around less intensive workouts of HR Z1-Z2 or less than 82% of LTHR

 As a late day snack for a working athlete who may have an evening workout planned before a late dinner to help stay fueled up.
