NUTRITION QUICK TIPS #1
For the next couple weeks, Craig Ballantyne will offer up quick tips pertaining to nutrition and training. Thanks to Craig for his continued support of eteamz and his efforts to assist the online Strength and Conditioning community!
Nutrition does not need to be complex. Make sure you eat 3 balanced meals each day and an additional 2-3 nutritional snacks. Eating breakfast and post-training are the 2 most important times to get energy. Eat a variety of foods and try to limit your fast food intake, especially on game days.
Athletes must consume a proper meal post-game, practice, or workout. This means carbohydrate, protein, and a little fat, plus water for hydration. Athletes must replace the energy and fluids used in activity and also need to prevent muscle breakdown. The meal does not have to be complex, just make sure to get some healthy food and fluids as soon as possible to prepare for future games and workouts.
