Try the 80/20 rule.

🥗 80% of the time: Focus on nutrient-rich foods that support your goals—lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and dairy.

🍦 20% of the time: Enjoy the foods you love, such as desserts, refined carbs, chips, creamy sauces, and other treats.

The weekend is often a great opportunity for that 20%. Enjoy the burger, ice cream, or favorite restaurant meal—but don't let one meal turn into an entire weekend of overeating.

Remember: Body composition changes are driven by what you do consistently, not what you do occasionally.

Aim for balance, not perfection. The athletes who see long-term success are the ones who can enjoy life while staying consistent with their nutrition habits.

💪 Fuel your goals.
🍔 Enjoy your favorites.
⚖️ Keep the balance.

    🤔 Are you eating enough to support your training a 🤔 Are you eating enough to support your training and performance?

Many athletes focus on what they're eating, but the bigger question is whether they're eating enough. Underfueling can impact energy levels, recovery, strength gains, endurance, focus, and overall performance.

🚩 Frequent fatigue
🚩 Struggling to recover between workouts
🚩 Low energy during practices or competitions
🚩 Constant hunger or cravings

These may be signs your body needs more fuel.

The Sports Nutrition Playbook Fuel Assessment is designed to help athletes better understand whether their nutrition is meeting the demands of their sport and training schedule.

    💧 Hydration check for the weekend! Whether you're 💧 Hydration check for the weekend!

Whether you're competing, training, or spending time outdoors, staying hydrated can help support performance, recovery, and energy levels.

One of the easiest ways to monitor hydration status? Check the color of your urine.

✅ Pale yellow = typically well hydrated
⚠️ Dark yellow or amber = time to drink more fluids

Don't wait until you're thirsty to start hydrating. Make fluids a priority throughout the day and especially before, during, and after activity.

Small habits can lead to big performance gains. Stay ahead of dehydration this weekend! 💪💦
