Make half your grains whole! Good sources include brown rice, oatmeal, whole wheat bread/pasta, or different types of grains like quinoa!

[FDU Sports Nutrition @FDUknightsSN]

Power up with whole grains! They are packed with energy and nutrients and keep you fueld throughout the day. Aim for 3 servings a day!🌾🍞

[FDU Sports Nutrition @FDUknightsSN]

Did you know? Athletes should consume 0.5-0.7 of carbohydrates per pound of body weight within 30 minutes of exercise to replenish glycogen!

[FDU Sports Nutrition @FDUknightsSN]

Not sure how much water to drink before exercise? Aim for 16-20 oz two hours before, and 6-8 oz 5-10 minutes before to avoid dehydration🥛💦

[FDU Sports Nutrition @FDUknightsSN]

On a hard workout day, extra fuel can come from increased carbohydrate intake. Don't forget your lean proteins and healthy fats!

[FDU Sports Nutrition @FDUknightsSN]

On a normal practice day, your plate should be divided evenly between lean proteins, whole grains and fruits/veggies for maximum efficiency

[FDU Sports Nutrition @FDUknightsSN]

This is an example of what your plate should look like on an easy day (easy workout, tapering, no need to load up for competition)

[FDU Sports Nutrition @FDUknightsSN]
