Conditions
Brief summary
The study will be conducted to test the hypothesis that consuming low glycemic index meals will lead to greater fat oxidation during the postprandial period and subsequent high-intensity exercise than consuming high glycemic index meals will.
Interventions
Two daily high glycemic index meals (breakfast and lunch). Participants are consuming corn flake cereal, whole milk, sports drink (high carbohydrate, water, and electrolytes replenisher), white bread, and margarine for the high glycemic index meal (glycemic index = 79). All Bran cereal, fat-free strawberry yogurt, grape juice, multi-grain bread, margarine, and apple are being provided in the low glycemic index meal (glycemic index = 28).
