    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.

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