Nutrition: How Much Is Enough?

About 60 percent of calories in a sports diet should come from carbohydrates.  Starches and grains contribute much to that.  Carbohydrates are the best choices for fueling your muscles and promoting good health.  It is the primary fuel for athletes and it is readily stored in the muscles for workouts.  Athletes who train hard every day need to be properly fueled to avoid glycogen depletion.    An athlete should strive to eat at least 6 to 11 servings of grains every day.  Although this may sound like an overwhelming amount of food, it's not when you understand the definition of "serving".  Six to eleven servings is only 2 to 4 servings per meal or 150 to 300 calories.    A game plan for good nutrition is the key in becoming a champion athlete.
