An athlete needs to start the day off with all three macronutrients:
· Starchy, glycogen building carbohydrates
· Lean, low sodium proteins
· Monounsaturated, non-greasy fats
A breakfast wrap out the door looks like a whole grain tortilla with at least 5 grams of fiber (Mission has a carb balance whole wheat), 2 egg whites (or 1/2 cup of black beans), ½ avocado and a little salsa. Have it with a side of nutrient rich fruit such as berries or an apple and you’re good to go!
