Think of snacks as mini-meals.

Focus on whole foods from the five main food groups to satisfy hunger and give your body the extra energy it needs to perform.

That means “protein + produce”. Get enough of each, and you’ll be sure to be on your game.

When energy is in high demand during intense training or after a competition, power up with added carbohydrates.

Here are a few suggestions on how to get what you need:
