Coach's Guide to Nutrition: Fueling with Fast Food
October 8, 2024
Life is busy, and sometimes getting food fast is the only option.
Fueling up with fast food can provide the proper nutrition to students when they are in a pinch.
Learning to identify more nutritious foods on restaurant menus will help provide the macronutrients students need in a meal.
Fast food for breakfast, lunch, or dinner can be part of a balanced diet.
Encourage students to keep the macros in mind when choosing from the menu. Giving students tips, such as choosing baked or grilled chicken, fresh fruit or salads, and milk as a beverage can make it easier for athletes to choose foods that will nourish their bodies.
