Sports Nutrition helps support your athletic and sports performance.

Why is Sports Nutrition Important?

Pre-training or game nutrition does not start in the hours before the game or session, but in the days and weeks beforehand. Adequate nutrition over a prolonged period of time will lead to an improved performance.

Sports Nutrition seminars are offered free to all Carambola client schools. Rachel Mescall Fitzpatrick has developed a simple yet effective Sports Nutrition seminar to teach children and staff all about the importance of eating well when involved in sports.

Keeping it simple is the message she portrays as she teaches young men and women about foods that enhance performance and foods that hinder performance.

Eating plenty of protein and carbohydrate rich foods, drinking lots of water and staying away from foods laden with sugar, salts and bad fats is key when wanting to keep your energy and fitness levels up.

Keep it Simple

Small dietary changes can make a big difference to your sporting activities.

• Have a protein filling in your sandwich or roll: chicken, tuna, ham, egg, turkey or cheese.
  
• Try brown or wholemeal bread for more vitamins or minerals.
  
• Eat pasta.
  
• Eat a banana before a match for energy.
  
• Eat some nuts.
  
• Keep hydrated!!
  

Eating your Carambola lunch daily helps support you in leading an active life.
