TIPS FROM TAYLOR

EAT 1-4 HOURS BEFORE:
Eating 1-4 hours before activity is ideal.
Always include a carb + protein.
Examples include: nutrient-dense meals (such as eggs, fruit and avocado for breakfast) or snacks such as a protein bar, yogurt parfait with fruit, peanut butter with a banana, crackers with cheese + fruit.

WHEN TO CONSIDER DIGESTIBLE CARBS:
If you have less than 1 hour before activity, eat an easily digestible carbohydrate.
The goal is to get quick fuel into your bloodstream for sustained energy.
Examples include: toast, crackers, banana, sports drink.

HYDRATE:
Hydration via water and electrolytes is important all day long.
Drinking when you are thirsty is a sign of dehydration.
