That’s why we’re breaking down the “Performance Plate” model to help guide your choices.
Whether it’s a rest day, intense practice, or game day, this simple visual approach ensures you’re getting the right mix of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and colorful fruits and vegetables at every meal.
