Nutrition Handout for Athletes

Clients, athletes, friends, etc... often ask me what some good nutritional choices are as far as post-workout, breakfast, snacks, etc... goes. I came across a good PDF handout you are welcome to print and use a guide. Of course it could be tweaked based on an individual's needs/goals, but I think it's a decent guide to utilize.

Two of the tips I like in the guide are the following:

• Studies show that beginning to eat or drink your recovery meal or snack within 30 minutes after a hard workout or competition is ideal

• Increased blood flow to your working muscles post-exercise allows for rapid nutrient replacement
