The field's senior authors revisited carbohydrate guidelines for endurance fueling

"From Metabolism to Medals: Contemporary Perspectives and Revisiting Carbohydrate Guidelines for Fueling Endurance Athletes during Exercise" was published by Morton, Fell, Gonzalez, Hearris, Podlogar, Pugh and Wallis in the Journal of Nutrition 156(5), May 2026. The author list essentially spans the field's leading carbohydrate researchers.

The digest could not open the full text (the journal returned 403), so no specific findings or recommendations are summarized here. The paper is background reference material for questions about carbohydrate intake ceilings during endurance exercise rather than news.

What this does not show

Any new data. This is a guidelines review, not a trial. It synthesises the existing literature.
What the review actually concludes. The full text was unreachable during the digest run, so its recommendations have not been read or summarized. Read the paper before citing it for any specific guideline.
News. Published May 2026, before this issue's coverage window. It is foundation material, not a current development.

Caveats worth holding
