Last weekend I had the pleasure of speaking at the Virginia Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics annual conference on teen athlete nutrition. I also visited Brown Cow Farms to learn about their farming practices. Loved every minute. Thank you @eatrightva for an amazing conference!

These are HOT right now, but if you choose one before practice or competition, you may not like the hot side effects that can come with it (sometimes they can cause gas or bloating) and that can impact your performance.

They can be a healthier alternative to soda, but choose to drink it on a rest day or after you’re done working out.

Youth athletes, are you drinking something with caffeine in it in the morning?

Instead of hitting the stimulants, take a look at how much sleep you’re getting and if your breakfast is providing enough carbs to give you energy. Your performance will be better for it!

Did you know we have a Registered Dietitian Nutrit

Did you know we have a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day? It's today, and I couldn't be happier with what I do - helping young athletes learn how to fuel their bodies and helping families create nourishing and delicious meals for their families.

As a professor, I teach health promotion and how we can prevent chronic disease with what we eat, how we move, and our lifestyle habits. I teach them how to effectively communicate health so they can make an impact now and down the road in their career.

It's really cool when you love what you do! Happy RDN Day to all of my RDN friends!

Spring sports are here!

Healthy habits now will carry you through a successful season.
1. Hydrate. Carry a water bottle and make water your drink of choice. Sports drinks come during and after practice, not before.
2. Eat breakfast. Most athletes are not eating enough, so use every opportunity you can to fuel up. Carbs, protein, and fat for breakfast will set you up for success. Examples: smoothies, egg, ham, and cheese sandwich, cereal with milk and fruit.
3. Snack before practice. Defending on your sport, this can be a light snack or something more substantial. If you’re running, grab an applesauce with electrolytes or some grapes. Baseball, softball, or lacrosse, you can handle some protein in there like peanut butter, cheese stick, or chocolate milk.

Raising Sports Nutrition IQ every day!

Did you know that around 25% of our daily energy comes from snacking? They are so important for keeping energy levels high and getting in important nutrients like protein, fiber, and potassium.

Here are a few ideas of shelf-stable snacks you can take with you to school or work and still perform at your best.

Remember to keep that water bottle filled and hydrate all day!
