  3. Develop healthful eating habits • Understand why you eat • Plan meals and snacks • Much of our total energy is emotional

  4. Healthful Breakfast and Lunch • Metabolism – rate at which food is converted into energy in body cells • Energy gained at breakfast keeps one active throughout the morning • Lunch keeps one alert and able to focus on schoolwork throughout the afternoon

  5. Breakfast Dos and Don’ts

  6. Healthful Dinner and Snacks • Eat a healthful dinner • Evaluate foods eaten throughout the day and plan foods to provide the missing nutrients for the day

  7. Dinner Do’s and Don’ts • Do eat a variety of foods • Don’t eat too close to bedtime • Don’t eat spicy foods or drink caffeine, if you have trouble sleeping

  13. Carbohydrate loading • Few days of very low carbohydrate intake followed by a few days of very high carbohydrate intake • Supposed to load muscles with glycogen • Mixed opinions

  14. Protein loading • Extra protein eaten to increase muscle size • Does NOT increase muscle size – EXERCISE increases muscle size • Some athletes need to “make” weight or maintain certain weight • Only safe way to maintain weight is REGULAR EXERCISE AND BALANCED DIET

  15. Eating Out • Check for number of servings • Check the menu for healthy choices • Check cooking methods of food choices

  16. Breakfast Choices • Avoid high-calorie and high-fat foods • Meat choices • choose Canadian bacon over sausage and bacon • Choose egg white or egg substitute rather than whole eggs

  18. Lunch Choices • Meats with little fat • Tuna and chicken salad – great choices • Choose whole-wheat or multi-grain breads • Soups • Limit amount of fried foods

  19. Dinner Choices • Choose chicken, grilled pork, fish, or smaller portion of steak • Large salad with little or no dressing • Steamed vegetables • For dessert – fresh fruit, low-fat frozen yogurt, or sorbet OR split a dessert
