Fuel
Check out these products and tips to keep you fueled from pre-game all the way through your activity.
Pre-Game
The meal before your big game should be easy to digest for a quick source of energy. Fill half your plate with carbohydrate foods that tend to be lower in fiber, like potatoes or regular pasta. Fill the remaining half with protein foods to help you feel full and colorful, non-starchy vegetables for vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
It’s best to eat 2-3 hours before your game or workout to allow time for your body to digest.
Try finishing your meal with beet juice, a natural source of nitrates that may help improve blood flow during exercise.*
Fueling on the Go
Whether you’re grabbing a quick meal or a snack, portable can still be nutritional! For snacks, go for smaller portions and consider food groups you didn’t get during the rest of the day such as fruits and veggies or a dairy food. Apples, bananas, trail mix, cheese sticks, and smoothies are perfect when you need a grab & go option.

Pre-Game Nutrition
During the Game
Staying fueled during your game or workout is essential. A fruit pouch or a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread can provide an energy boost between innings or at half time.
For a quick source of energy that may be easier to digest, consider choosing carbohydrate foods that tend to be lower in fiber.
