Nutrition is a fundamental part of any athletes potential for on-field success. Food is the fuel that is directly responsible for powering those spectacular field plays in sports from tennis to soccer to ice hockey. However, it is important that the food you eat is healthy, nourishing, and promotes higher energy levels.
Athletes will find that they can benefit most from foods that are rich in protein and complex carbohydrates. These basic food types should be supplemented with fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals. Additionally, sports nutrition can be complemented with factory-made supplements such as creatine or whey protein. These supplements are completely legal and were designed to improve performance or heal sore muscles faster.
Nutrition Sports
A high protein diet is recommended by most sports nutritionists. In fact, if you lead an exceptionally active lifestyle that includes regular aerobic/anaerobic exercise, the recommended daily protein intake should ideally fall within 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of body weight. Protein plays a fundamental role in building up strength and muscles mass, which could be lost if you were to follow a physically active lifestyle without taking in these basic building blocks essential to repairing fatigued and ripped muscle tissue, and building it back stronger. Stick to lean meats like chicken breasts, steak, cottage cheese, or other dairy products with low quantities of fat.
Another important part of sports nutrition includes carbohydrates. There are two basic types of carbohydrates: simple carbohydrates, and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbs are those that are absorbed rapidly by your body. In other words, they will be converted into blood glucose rapidly and will generate a quick spike of energy that will last you for a very short amount of time. On the other hand, complex carbs are absorbed by your body at a steady yet constant rate, supplying your body with a stable flow of energy that can keep it running for long periods of time where physical endurance and athletic performance are demanded. For these reasons, try to avoid simple carbs and stick to complex carbs as much as possible. Foods like wholewheat bread, oats, brown rice, and brown pasta can be considered complex carbs.
As a final note, remember that contrary to popular belief, not all fats are bad for you. Many foods that contain healthy saturated fats are recommended as they can provide your body with Omega 3 fatty acids while helping to keep your blood cholesterol levels in check. You should avoid sugar-laden fatty products containing mono-insaturated fats and hydrogenated vegetable oil at all costs, however. In general, if you follow a nutritional plan built to improve your athletic performance, you will be surprised to see just how drastic the change can be on your on-field game.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Protein, Chocolate Supreme 2 Pound Overview
Details Rapid protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but delayed digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times; including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are acid sensitive and tend to thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for our Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. By blending premium micellar and calcium caseins, we've created a protein formula that's truly time-released. Typical Amino Acid Profile (Miligrams Per Serving): Essential Amino Acids (EAAs):Tryptophan 292, Valine 1609, Threonine 1039, Isoleucine 1312, Leucine 2129, Lysine 1822, Phenylalanine 1144, Methionine 644. Conditionally Essential Amino Acids (CAAs): Arginine 866, Cystine 79, Tyrosine 846, Histidine 688, Proline 2421, Glutamine & Precursors 4950. Nonessential Amino Acids (NAAs): Aspartic Acid 1589, Serine 1396, Glycine 510, Alanine 664. Directions Using a shaker cup is the easiest and most convenient way to mix up a consistently great casein shake every time. Just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to your shaker cup and then pour in 10-12 oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. BLENDER: Add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a blender filled with 10-12 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 3-4 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. SPOON STIRRED: If you forgot your shaker cup or doOptimum Nutrition 100% Casein Protein, Chocolate Supreme 2 Pound Specifications
