Nutrition Guide

There is an old saying, "You wouldn't put regular gasoline in Porsche, would you?" Well that same thing can be said for your body. Keep things simple, read the ingredients and do not worry about the calorie count as long as it is healthy. You will need a healthy amount of Proteins, Grains, Vegetables, Fruits and a small amount of Dairy every day for a Balanced diet.

Coach's Tips:

-If you can't pronounce, or know what the first three ingredients of an item, don't eat it.

-When shopping for food, stay around the outside of the store, thats where all the fresh products are usually kept

-Carbs are as important as Proteins. Your body needs carbohydrates to break down proteins.

-Everything in Moderation. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

-Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. An athlete cannot function properly when dehydrated.
