Timing of post activity nutrition is vital to optimal recovery. It is recommended to consume 1.5 g/kg of carbs within 30 minutes of exercise to maximize glycogen replenishment

A

70%:
Resting metabolic rate is the total number of calories burned when your body is at rest, which accounts for a large portion of total calories. Most studies agree that RMR accounts for approximately 70% of total calories.
