How quickly can weight be regained after a cut?

With adequate fluid and carbohydrate intake, approximately 60% of cut weight can be regained in 3-4 hours. Full glycogen restoration takes 6-24 hours. Electrolytes must accompany fluids for optimal cellular rehydration.

What should be consumed immediately after weigh-in?

Oral rehydration solutions with sodium (to retain fluids), carbohydrate-rich foods (for glycogen), and protein (to begin recovery). High-fat or high-fiber foods should be avoided to prevent GI issues.

Does same-day weigh-in allow full recovery?

Same-day weigh-ins severely limit recovery time and are considered a fighter safety issue by sports medicine organizations. Cuts should be minimized when same-day weigh-ins are enforced.

How It Works

Calculate optimal fluid and carbohydrate rehydration strategy after weigh-in to restore body weight and glycogen stores before competition using evidence-based rehydration protocols

Each component has a specific meaning:

Evidence-based rehydration protocols — The evidence-based rehydration protocols recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the post-weigh-in regain result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the evidence-based rehydration protocols for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate optimal fluid and carbohydrate rehydration strategy after weigh-in to restore body weight and glycogen stores before competition using evidence-based rehydration protocols. Use the post-weigh-in regain result to inform your calculation.
