Hit the Road Sport Nutrition on the Move When an athlete hits the road, whether it s a tournament in a country abroad or a match just across the street, eating healthy while on the road can be a challenge. Use these tips to help prepare you for what lies ahead. PROCEED WITH CAUTION Fast food can mean fat food, but it doesn t have to! Remember, high fat food delays digestion, forcing high-energy carbohydrates to take longer to reach the body s muscles. To get the full benefit of eating prior to exercise, food has to be converted into energy to fuel your muscles. If foods is sitting in your stomach, it s in the wrong place. To help food digest quickly limit fat intake close to practice and game time. BE A FAT SLEUTH: Watch for words like mayo, aioli, au gratin, butter sauce, creamed, creamy, crispy, fried, gravy, Alfredo sauce, cheese sauce, creamy sauce, special sauce, and pan-fried. Green Light Nutrition The following terms generally indicate that the food is lower in fat, and are generally healthier choices when eating out: broiled, steamed, poached, garden-fresh, in its own juice, tomato sauce, marinara sauce, roasted, wood-fired, stir-fried, and grilled. Wraps and sandwiches are often a good choice, just watch out for special sauces. Other great choices include baked potatoes and grilled chicken sandwiches. FUEL WITH FAVORITES Stocking up on familiar foods, like the foods you use in practice, can be helpful on the road. Bring a small cooler with your favorites in it and fuel up while traveling! This way your body and mind will be fueled with favorites. ON THE GO AGAIN When playing multiple games or matches, timing can be tricky. It takes three to four hours to digest a regular meal. If your time between games is less than two hours try some of the following as betweenevent-meals : Sports foods that travel well (pick your favorites): Bagels, crackers, string cheese, trail mix, almonds, dried fruit, fig newtons, granola bars, energy bars, hard boiled eggs, beef jerky, pretzels, yogurt, carrot sticks, cereals, packets of instant breakfast drink, soft pretzels, instant soups, fruit juice, milk boxes (especially chocolate for recovery) and fruit. smoothies turkey sandwich with mustard and lettuce instant breakfast drinks with fruit low-fat chicken wraps naked burritos bowl of cereal with milk and fruit bagel sandwich If you need help with timing meals on the road, see the following page

Winning with Hydration Drink Up! Hydrating your body is key to athletic success! When your brain and muscles do not have enough water, you can t think clearly, you lose endurance and strength, and your performance goes down the drain! Drink water, eat fluid filled foods like fruit and soups, and aim to minimize fluid loss during practice and games. Sweat it Out Sweating is your body s way of keeping cool. Sometimes you don t see sweat, like when you swim. But sweating happens whenever your body heats up. When you sweat, you lose water and electrolytes. Replacing water and electrolytes takes planning. Without a plan, moderate to severe dehydration can occur. Dehydration is dangerous and can be deadly. When you re severely dehydrated, sweating stops and your body over heats. The result: fatigue, weakness, dizziness, or worse. Every year deaths in young healthy athletes are linked to severe dehydration. JUST THE FACTS You are mostly water. About 70% of your body is made of water! Muscles, blood, brain and organs! Pay Attention to Your Thirst Listen to your body, but do not rely on thirst as your only reminder. You need to drink before you re thirsty and keep drinking when you no longer feel thirsty. Thirst is a good reminder but during intense matches we often forget to listen to our body s thirst reminder. Have a hydration plan that includes reminders from coaches and teammates, as well as a hydration bottle full of cool water, or sports drink when needed. DID YOU KNOW... Just 1-2% loss in body water is enough to decrease your performance up to 10 percent? WOW! Sweat Check A basic way to check and see if you are hydrating enough during exercise is as follows: My body weight before practice [ lbs ] - My body weight after practice [ lbs ] Pounds lost [ lbs lost ] Weight loss during practice or competition is not fat, it s water. For every pound lost, replace with 2-3 cups of water. (For accuracy, weigh in minimal clothing, and afterwards, change out of the sweaty clothing before you weigh.) It is critical to replace the water loss as quickly as possible. Try to minimize the weight lost by drinking more during activity. Drink at every break in action. Before your next workout, your weight should be back up to normal.

Hydration check: Urine should be the color of light lemonade not apple juice. The Hydration Plan EVERY DAY Drink at least half your body weight in ounces daily For example: A 160 pound athlete should drink 80 fl oz per day BEFORE EXERCISE Start hydrating 24 48 hours prior to exercise 2 3 hours before exercise: drink 14 20 fl oz of water During active warm-up: drink another 8 fl oz (about 8 swallows/gulps) DURING EXERCISE Use a sports drink when exercising longer than 90 minutes or when in hot/humid environments Drink at least 16 fl oz of water or sports drink each hour AFTER EXERCISE Weigh yourself before and after exercise For every pound you lose, drink 16 24 fl oz Winning Hydration Enhance your performance by staying hydrated every day. Bring plenty of water and water filled foods with you each day. Use the hydration plan above and check off each item to ensure you will be at the top of your game! What Should I Drink? Your body needs water and electrolytes like sodium and potassium. Electrolytes come from food and so can water. Milk, juice and sports drinks are about 90% water, and contain electrolytes. Foods like soups and fruits also contain electrolytes and lots of water. Research shows that most hydration happens at meals from the combination of food and beverages you eat and drink. WARNING SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION Loss of appetite Dizziness Stomachaches Muscle cramps Excessive thirst Overheating Loss of concentration Information presented in this packet is intended to impart general fitness, sports nutrition, and health information.

HYDRATE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PHYSICAL ACTIVITY Major League Soccer s Los Angeles Galaxy and U.S Men s National Team superstar Landon Donovan knows firsthand the importance of hydration and the critical role it plays in ensuring optimal performance on the playing field. If you re dehydrated, it affects how you feel and how you play. Hydration is an element of the game you can control and it s just something simple you can do that makes a huge difference, Landon said. LANDON S VISIT TO GSSI With the potential dangers of dehydration in mind, as well as the opportunity to gain every possible competitive edge, Landon visited the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) in Chicago. GSSI has tested hundreds of elite professional and amateur athletes from all over the world to help them understand their individual hydration needs so they can feel and perform at their best. While learning ways for improving his personal hydration status, Landon also gained further insight about the positive effects of hydration versus the negative effects of dehydration and how they influence his performance. Hydration is important because when you re hydrated, playing is much easier and you don t worry about anything but the game, Landon said. But when you re dehydrated, you can feel sick, you can cramp, get dizzy, and it can even become more severe than that. In the worst cases, dehydration not only can affect your performance, but also can lead to dangerous heat illnesses if you let it go too far. In the lab, Landon performed exercises that simulated the real-world conditions of moderate-intensity, continuous exercise in the heat in order for the scientists to examine different aspects of his sweat. The test simulated Landon s physical responses to efforts that would be put forth during a game under 85-degree conditions.

HYDRATE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LANDON S HYDRATION PLAN I learned that I sweat an average amount; however, I have an above-average sweat sodium concentration, which means I am a salty sweater. I also learned that while I do drink enough before a workout, I don t drink enough during and afterward to hydrate myself. So, making subtle changes, like eating a saltier diet during heavy training, replacing more of my sweat losses, and making sure to hydrate fully after activity and before my next match can really help my performance, he said. A key ingredient to Landon s hydration plan is the consumption of Gatorade. At GSSI, Landon learned about the importance of using sports drinks to replace electrolytes, like sodium and potassium, in addition to providing carbohydrate energy to fuel muscles which water alone does not have. He also learned about how the flavor and sodium in sports drinks help an athlete to drink enough to achieve more complete hydration. THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION FOR ALL ATHLETES Staying hydrated is important for athletes of all ages, not just superstar athletes like Landon. Research shows that sweat losses during a soccer match can be as great as 3 quarts or more when temperature and/or humidity are especially high 1. In addition, a recent study shows that more than two-thirds of young athletes show up for practice already significantly dehydrated 2. This puts them at increased risk for more serious heat illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Hydration can also have a tremendous impact on performance, especially late in the game when 30 percent of total goals are typically scored 3. Impaired performance, especially during the second half of a soccer match, is primarily related to fatigue, which is associated with dehydration. Sweat loss equivalent to as little as 2 percent of body weight can impair performance 4. However, such problems are avoidable, so long as athletes remember to stay hydrated before, during and after physical activity. I think dehydration is easily preventable, if you re smart about it, Landon said. A good hydration plan can be the difference between having enough energy to score that winning goal in the 90th minute or lying on your back and watching the other team run victory laps around the field. So, it s crucial. Drink to Replace Fluid Losses When you re engaged in activity that produces continuous sweating, it s important to have a regimen to replace fluid losses and ensure optimal hydration. The best way to do this is to understand how much fluid you re losing through sweat and then drink to match these fluid losses (try not to underdrink or overdrink, as overdrinking can be dangerous, even fatal). An easy way to do this is to weigh yourself before and after practices or games. You can use the following equation: Weight lost during exercise (in ounces) + Fluid consumed during exercise (in ounces) = The amount you SHOULD be drinking NOTE: 16 ounces of fluid equals 1 pound of fluid loss. The above equation does not account for any urine loss. If you are unable to weigh yourself before and after exercise, the following is a general rule of thumb: WHEN 1 hour before activity 5 During activity, every 20 minutes 6 After activity, to replace fluids lost through sweat 5 Body weight = less than 90 lbs. 3 6 oz. of fluid 3 5 oz. of fluid Up to 8 oz. of fluid per ½ lb. lost Body weight = more than 90 lbs. 6 12 oz. of fluid 6 9 oz. of fluid Up to 12 oz. of fluid per ½ lb. lost Easy tip: Learn to drink for individual needs. One or two gulps typically equal an ounce of fluid. 1 Aragon-Vargas, et al. Thermoregulation and Fluid Balance During Professional Soccer Competition in the Heat: 168 Board #75 9:30-11:00 AM.

10 tips Nutrition Education Series build a healthy meal 10 tips for healthy meals A healthy meal starts with more vegetables and fruits and smaller portions of protein and grains. Think about how you can adjust the portions on your plate to get more of what you need without too many calories. And don t forget dairy make it the beverage with your meal or add fat-free or low-fat dairy products to your plate. 1 make half your plate veggies and fruits Vegetables and fruits are full of nutrients and may help to promote good health. Choose red, orange, and darkgreen vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and broccoli. 2 add lean protein Choose protein foods, such as lean beef and pork, or chicken, turkey, beans, or tofu. Twice a week, make seafood the protein on your plate. 3 include whole grains Aim to make at least half your grains whole grains. Look for the words 100% whole grain or 100% whole wheat on the food label. Whole grains provide more nutrients, like fiber, than refined grains. 4 don t forget the dairy Pair your meal with a cup of fat-free or low-fat milk. They provide the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but less fat and calories. Don t drink milk? Try soymilk (soy beverage) as your beverage or include fat-free or low-fat yogurt in your meal. 5 avoid extra fat Using heavy gravies or sauces will add fat and calories to otherwise healthy choices. For example, steamed broccoli is great, but avoid topping it with cheese sauce. Try other options, like a sprinkling of low-fat parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon. 6 take your time Savor your food. Eat slowly, enjoy the taste and textures, and pay attention to how you feel. Be mindful. Eating very quickly may cause you to eat too much. 7 use a smaller plate Use a smaller plate at meals to help with portion control. That way you can finish your entire plate and feel satisfied without overeating. 8 take control of your food Eat at home more often so you know exactly what you are eating.
