Athletes Plate – a guide for teen and college athletes

If you have been looking for a visual fueling guide to help educate student-athletes on proper fueling, this resource is for you.

This comprehensive yet simple guide takes a non-diet, intuitive eating approach. It will help promote a healthy relationship with food while also providing teen and college athletes with clear information on how they should be fueling. 

Included in this guide:

• a visual plate that shows the different categories of food to try and include at most meals and in what proportions
• essential information about the different “food groups” to include
• a list of nutrients of concern – nutrients that teen athletes often fall short on
• intuitive eating sports nutrition tips geared toward teen athletes 
• a blank plate guide that teens can use to fill in the foods that they like in each category (or it could be used during 1:1 sessions or in a classroom setting to brainstorm foods that they like or typically eat)

If this sounds helpful, then this guide is for you.

As a Certified Intuitive Eating counselor who often works with student-athletes, I have found these tools helpful in my practice.
