    😬 Pre-game nerves killing your appetite? Fueling s 😬 Pre-game nerves killing your appetite? Fueling still matters.

When your stomach is nervous, keep it simple:

🍌 Choose easy-to-digest carbs like bananas, pretzels, toast, applesauce, or crackers.
🥑 Go lighter on fat + fiber right before competition—they can feel heavier on your stomach.
🏆 Stick with foods you KNOW your body handles well. Game day is not the time to experiment!
🍎 Start small. Even a small snack can make a big difference.

You don’t need the perfect pre-game meal. The best pre-game choice is often the one you can actually tolerate.

    🚨 Not everything on the shelf is automatically saf 🚨 Not everything on the shelf is automatically safe for athletes.

If you’re using protein powder in your post-workout shake or smoothie, look for NSF Certified for Sport® or Informed Choice certification.

These third-party testing programs help verify supplements for purity and banned substances—an important step for athletes who may be subject to drug testing.

💡 Before you buy it, check the certification. Your supplement matters as much as your training.
    Rest day ≠ fuel-free day. 💪 Your body is still wo Rest day ≠ fuel-free day. 💪

Your body is still working—replenishing glycogen, repairing muscle, and preparing for your next workout.

On recovery days:
🍗 Prioritize protein
🍎 Include carbs at meals & snacks
🥦 Load up on colorful produce
💧 Stay hydrated

You may need slightly less carbohydrate if you're less active, but you still need carbs + protein to support recovery.

Remember: Rest is part of training—and fueling is part of recovery. 🏆
