Fueling Made Simple
Forget fad diets — athletes need real fuel and consistent habits.
Teen athletes don’t need fad diets. They need consistent, balanced nutrition that fuels training, supports recovery, and stabilizes energy all day long.
Skipping lunch or barely eating before practice crushes performance — slower reactions, less power, higher injury risk, and poor focus.
The simple fueling method:
- Eat breakfast every day
- Carry 1–2 smart snacks
- Drink water consistently throughout the day
- Eat a protein + carb meal within 60 minutes after practice
