Fuel Up
As an athlete, it is impossible to perform at an elite level unless the body has received the proper amount (quantity) and type (quality) of fuel (nutrients). Food has two primary purposes:
- Improve Performance
- Improve Recovery

EAT CLEAN
Athletes should strive to eat the “cleanest” sources of food whenever possible. The term “clean” refers to eating the least processed as well as the leanest forms of food. Some of the labels or phrases that relate to clean food include but are not limited to:
- Organic
- Whole-Grain
- All-Natural
- Grain Fed
So the cleaner the food the higher the quality. And the more quality nutrients that are delivered to the body, the higher the results we get from those cells leading to better health, increased performance and faster recovery.
EAT OFTEN
Athletes should strive to eat 5-6 meals throughout the entire day. On average athletes should strive to eat every 3 hours. This will supply the muscles and the body with the energy needed to perform in both sport and life.
STAY HYDRATED
Athletes should strive to drink at least half of their body weight in ounces daily in order to improve health, performance and recovery. For example: if an athlete weighs 180lbs, then that athlete should drink at least 90oz of pure water daily spread out within or in between their 5-6 meals.
