Tip of the Week

Being a vegetarian athlete can take a little more planning that someone on a meat-based diet, but it also offers far more benefits. Vegetarian athletes need to ensure an intake of nutrient-dense plant-based foods. Try not to exist primarily on highly processed and refined carbohydrates like pasta, bread and pretzels. Instead, include beans, tofu, nuts and vegetables to meet an athlete´s nutrient requirements. In other words, eat a well-balanced, high protein diet, and make every bite count. The less-processed the food the better.
