Exercise Nutrition


To sustain proper nutrition during exercise remember:

  • Stay adequately hydrated (min of 64oz water daily) I recommend filling a quart size canning jar/water bottle and filling it twice through out the day
  • A balanced diet of fruits/veggies, carbs and protein. Protein is very important but it is not prudent to eat only protein as carbs help properly digest protein. (not to mention that there is no single food that contains all the nutrition your body needs)
  • Remember: fruits/veggies and sweets are carbs - not just grains, breads, pastas, ect and protein does not just mean meat.

The conference talk "Good, Better, Best"
by Elder Oaks also applies to food as well!

Not only do the carbs help digest protein, but protein helps to elongate the energy gained by the carbs ingested.
