    Not all fats are created equal 👏🏼 Fueling your bo Not all fats are created equal 👏🏼

Fueling your body with the right kinds of fat is essential for energy, recovery, hormone health, brain function, and keeping you full throughout the day. 🥑🐟🌰

The goal isn’t to fear fat — it’s to choose more healthy fats and less saturated fat commonly found in fried foods, baked goods, and fast food. Instead, focus on adding foods like:
• Nuts & nut butters 
• Seeds 
• Avocado 
• Salmon & other fatty fish 

Small swaps can make a big impact on performance and overall health. 💪🏼

If eating feels hard before competition, focus on simple, familiar foods that are easier to tolerate. A full meal may not always happen, but small amounts of fuel can still make a difference in energy, focus, and performance.

Think: easy carbs, lower fat/fiber right before, familiar foods, and smaller portions if needed.

    Weekends don’t mean your fueling plan takes a brea Weekends don’t mean your fueling plan takes a break.

One of the biggest mistakes athletes make? Forgetting to eat and hydrate consistently once the routine changes.

Whether you’re training, competing, or recovering, your body still needs steady fuel to perform and bounce back.

Set reminders if you need to — and aim to check in every few hours:
fuel up, include protein, and don’t forget to hydrate 💧

Consistency is what keeps you ready.
