NUTRITION/LIFESTYLE
For starches or carbs, I switch between these simple foods; rice, sweet potato, baked potato, brown rice pasta, Ezekiel english muffins, fruit and oatmeal. My go-to vegetables include steamed broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and green beans just to name a few.
Finally, for fats I choose Kerrygold or Vital Farms grass-fed butter to flavor many of my starches, also EVOO, ghee, nut butter, avocado, 80 % dark chocolate and almonds.
Just as you would practice to get better at baseball, you have to practice to be a better eater, everyday it will get easier and easier, just stick with it.
If you’re always prepared, you should never be
hungry. When you forget to bring your own snacks,
that's when you make bad food decisions. Don’t
wonder where your next meal will come from, bring
it yourself! As I mentioned earlier, my carry-on
luggage was filled with snacks for the hotel and
clubhouse. Did it take some extra time to pack up?
Sure, but when I felt hungry, I was thankful I had it.
This kept me from wandering to the hotel shops and settling for food that may satisfy my hunger at the moment, but provide nothing nutritionally sound for my body. I was obsessed with making my body as efficient as possible. Healthy body=better performance.
Finding the right combination of foods and snacks that are healthy, taste great, and keep you fueled isn’t always easy and I’m happy to help create a custom plan that fits your tastes. It’s something I do quite often for my buddies in and out of baseball. Let me know!
