Creating a Winning Eating Plan from the "Sports Nutrition Guidebook"

1) Eat three kinds of food at meals. The more diffeent types of foods you eat, the more different types of vitimins, minerals and other nutrients you consume. Instead of eating a repetitive menu with the same 10 to 15 foods each week, target 35 different types of foods per week. Do this by eating not just Bran Flakes topped with banana for breakfast, but many different brands of cereal toped with a variety of differentfruits; no just a turkey sandwich for lunch, but different types of breads and sandwich filling; not just spiniach in the salad, but lots of different colorful vegetables.
