Best Brown Bag Lunches
By by Jill Daniels, M.S., R.D.August 21, 2007
Eat Like a Champ
The lunchtime meal is a crucial place for athletes to eat well. It will help serve as a recovery meal if you had a morning workout, or will be the fuel and fluids your body needs for a great afternoon or evening practice. The lunches offered at school tend to be high in fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, and too low in fiber, fruits and vegetables. A popular choice is to grab a burger or a slice of pizza and wash it down with an energy drink. This is not going to serve your body well.
Making your lunches at home will ensure you eat a balanced meal that will nourish your body, help you be strong throughout practice, and have an edge on your competition. It may not be cool to bring your lunch from home, but how cool will it be when you are voted MVP on your team, or you continue to break your personal records and achieve better times than you could have ever imagined? Follow these tips to eat like a champ.

It’s vacation time! We’ve been looking forward to this for months, hoping to rest, relax, have fun… and get away from it all. Too often, however, we also get away from our healthy habits we’ve established in our daily routine.
