Being both a full time collegiate athlete and student is time consuming and can be stressful because you have a lot on your plate 🍽️. I want to make nutrition one less stressor for you. 🤘

Pretty convinced that Michael’s Secret Stuff in the movie Space Jam was pickle juice. 🥒 Pickle juice is great when you are training, especially during camp in the heat! 🥵 It can help with hydration and has been shown to relieve muscle cramping! 🤘

Check out some dorm room staples that will come in handy once school starts in a few short weeks! These are some easy ways to make sure you are getting enough protein, carbs, fats and fruits/veggies in your diet. Remember you can always talk to your sports dietitian 🤘

Electrolytes are essential to your body for a variety of reasons when it comes to athletics. But you don’t have to just get your electrolytes through expensive hydration products. Electrolytes are found naturally in many foods we eat daily. Eat your electrolytes! 🤘

As the saying goes “breakfast is the most important meal of the day!” It is important to get protein into your breakfast to keep your muscles fueled and ready to tackle your workout and your day! Aim to get AT LEAST 20g of protein into your breakfast every morning!

Game time is getting close and reality of the season is setting in! Make sure you are ready to fuel your body during a game to get immediate energy and avoid fatigue or that hitting the wall feeling🤘

Snacking is important when it comes to athletics. Incorporating snacks into your daily routine will help keep you full, your body fueled and your muscles happy. When choosing a snack, pick a snack combination that has both carbs (energy) and protein (keep your muscles happy).🤘

Here’s a quick and easy way to add calories without the expense of buying gainer protein or mass gainer. Gaining weight takes discipline, don’t get discouraged if you reach a plateau. Make sure you talk with your sports dietitian on ways to help you successfully gain mass! 🤘

Eating carbs before lift: Very Demure Very Mindful Very Mature Not eating before lift: Not Demure Not Mindful Very Silly

Getting enough carbs before a workout can sometimes be tough. Drinking this 30 mins to an hour before a workout will give your body time to digest and give you quick energy (honey and fruit), sustained energy(oats) and electrolytes to train harder and perform your best🤘

Dehydration as little as 2% can impair athletic performance due to: ❌fatigue ❌headaches ❌muscle cramps Dehydration can⬇️: ❌balance ❌sprinting ❌reaction time For optimal hydration and strength drink🥛milk at meals & water💧 in between! For every pound loss replace with 16

It would make sense that “energy” drinks would give you energy, that is not the case.  Energy comes from calories and food, especially CARBS! Energy drinks contain caffeine which may give you a false feeling of energy, but without calories it won’t help you be your best🤘

Those last 48 hours before a game are when your nutrition can make or break your performance. Follow these key rules to optimize your nutrition: Feel your best to perform your best. Gametime is your chance to prove yourself to everyone, so make sure you are fueling your body!

Great start to the season! 🤘 #UBhornsUP l #BullMarket📈
