Water intake

Hydration is extremely important for athletes. adequate water intake has been proven to increase physical performance as well as aid in recovery.

To calculate recommended water intake:

Macronutrients

  • 1 gram per pound of bodyweight is a good starting point. As training intensity increases, so will the need for additional carbohydrates.

    Aim to consume the majority of your carbohydrates from nutrient dense or “good” sources such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Minimize “bad” sources of carbohydrates such as candy, pastries and other foods containing added sugar.

  • Consume between 1.5-2 grams per pound of bodyweight.

    Great sources of protein are beans, nuts, whole grains, tofu, eggs and various meats.

  • 0.3 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight should be consumed per day.
