Nutrition Facts

Hockey season is the best time of year, but before you go out to play - have you done your homework to make sure that your body is power-fueled? Skating and playing hard require lots of energy and enough fluids to keep you in the game. Carbohydrate-rich foods are your best bet to fueling your body. To get the most out of your performance, here are some sport nutrition tips to ensure that you are power-fueled and well hydrated before and after hockey practices and games.

 

1) Choose carbohydrate-rich foods as your best energy fuel. The following foods are chock full of carbohydrates:

  • Breads & Cereals (toast, crackers, granola bars, cereal)
  • Vegetables & Fruit (dried fruit, fruit salad, vegetable soup and salads)
  • Legumes (chick peas, lentils, kidney beans, hummus dip)
  • Milk and Yogurt (plain/chocolate milk, fruit yogurt, kefir)

2) Be sure to include foods that add protein. The following foods pack a protein punch when they accompany your carbohydrate-rich foods:

  • Nut butters (Peanut, almond, cashew, sesame)
  • Eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese
  • Hummus dip, more bean than meat chili
  • Lean cuts of meat, poultry or fish
