You can improve your performance by eating healthy at regular times throughout the day, and by eating the appropriate fluid and food before, during and after your physical activity. By combining sound eating habits with a physical activity program, you can achieve better work performance, a stable weight and lifelong health benefits. Depending on your work assignment and/or your sport involvement, the amount of food you require will change. The greater the physical effort needed for your duties or your training, the more food your body needs for Top Performance. During times of extreme physical effort, your sensation of thirst and hunger is dulled. A schedule of fluid and food intake is necessary to ensure you are fuelling your body under these demanding conditions. On the other hand, a sudden decrease in physical work or training is frequently accompanied by weight gain. Food intake and desire for food are partly hunger and partly habit. When your energy needs drop, you must reduce your food intake even if you usually eat more. It becomes important to separate your ‘desire for food’ from your ‘need for energy’. Top Fuel for Top Performance: Participant Workbook and Workshops provides you with information activities to help you develop practical skills for healthy eating and top performance. This symbol in the workbook indicates an activity you need to complete to enhance your learning and behaviour change. Visit the Strengthening the Forces Health Promotion office. There are professionals and programs that can help you with healthy eating, weight management and stress management.

    Sports Snacks: Food Options for Hungry Athletes | Active.com Sports Snacks: Food Options for Hungry Athletes By Nancy Clark, MS RD CSSD • For Active.com "What should I eat before I exercise?" That’s a key question—as well as what to eat during extended exercise— that athletes commonly ask me. While they know the words carbs, proteins and fats, they often don't know how to translate those words into food choices. The goal of this article is to offer specific food suggestions to fit a variety of sports situations. This is far from a complete list. Please be sure to experiment with new pre- and during exercise foods to learn which ones settle best in your gut, don’t “talk back,” and enhance your performance. Pre-Event Carbo-Loading Dinner: • Pasta with tomato sauce, meatballs, green beans, French bread, low fat/skim milk, frozen yogurt with strawberries • Turkey with potato, stuffing, low fat gravy, winter squash, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, apple crisp with reduced-fat ice cream Pre-Game Breakfast For example, 1 to 2 hours before a 9 a.m. cross-country meet or soccer game • Wheaties (or other dry cereal) with low fat milk and banana • Oatmeal with applesauce and brown sugar • Cream of Wheat with raisins • Bagel or English muffin with peanut butter • Poached eggs with two slices of toast • Yogurt and granola Liquid “Meals” If you have trouble digesting solid food • Fruit smoothie (milk, yogurt or juice blended with frozen berries, banana chunks) • Carnation Instant Breakfast • Boost • Ensure • Low fat chocolate milk • Vanilla pudding • Pureed peaches Brunch 4 hours before a 1 p.m.
