Pre-Practice Snack Ideas: Coach Liza

4/14/2020

 
Pre-Practice Snack Ideas
Everyone is different when it comes to what they can digest or tolerate for a pre-practice snack.  The key to all of it is timing. Use the guidelines below to select an appropriate pre-practice snack for the amount of time you have before practice to make sure you are fueled for the work ahead.  It may take some trial and error to see what works for you. Choosing “real” food instead of overly processed food is preferred. Try to pick things closest to their natural form, or with a short ingredient list.  
  1.  If you have 1-2 hours, choose a complete snack with protein, lower fiber carbohydrates, and some fat.
  1. If you have less than an hour, choose a simple and lower fiber carbohydrate source.  Make sure you also bring some lower fiber carbohydrates to practice.
  2. After practice, be sure to have a Complete snack on your walk to the parking lot to immediately re-fuel your muscles to aid in recovery and decrease muscle loss.​
