PROPER NUTRITION A MUST FOR ALL ATHLETES

 

No Time?

Plan ahead to have your favorite, quick, pregame foods on hand during the season. If possible, eat at least three hours before you compete.

If you only have time for a quick trip to the store, consider these possibilities:

  • Oranges, bananas, pears, peaches, plums
  • Juices
  • Mozzarella string cheese
  • Yogurt (low-fat)
  • Single-portion cans of fruit
  • Breadsticks/snacksticks
  • Bread with jelly
  • Cottage cheese (low-fat)
  • Milk (low-fat or skim)

Bring a thermos of soup or a casserole from home.

Remember: Eat foods you like and that agree with you for pre-race meals. You are an individual with your own tolerances for foods. Choosing foods you like may give you a psychological edge.
