Results in favor of a low CHO diet for athletes are often challenged due to methodological issues, such as diet adherence, CHO intake thresholds, small sample sizes, short intervention periods, and assessment of mechanisms underpinning changes in fuel utilization during exercise.
“Results in favor of a low CHO diet for athletes are often challenged due to methodological issues, such as diet adherence, CHO intake thresholds, small sample sizes, short intervention periods, as well as assessment of mechanisms which underpin changes in fuel utilization during exercise [63,66].”

Current evidence has yet to detect a clear performance benefit of low CHO diets, especially in highly trained athletes and endurance-based sports.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
