Top off your tank.

As an athlete you should be aware that it is wiser to eat many small meals throughout the day rather than eat a huge breakfast, lunch, and supper. Below is a list of smart snacks to keep your tank topped off. Remember.......graze throughout the day.

• Cereal, with or without milk
• Peanut butter and jelly sandwich
• Hard and soft pretzels
• Baked potato with low fat cheese
• Crackers with peanut butter
• Muffins and bagels with jam and low fat cream cheese
• Sports bars, breakfast bars, low fat granola bars
• Yogurt with fruit......Mmmmmm, yogurt!
• Bowl of soup with crackers
• Pasta or bean salad
• Fresh fruit, low fat cheese, and nuts
• Cottage cheese and fruit
• Instant breakfast mix and fruit
• Tuna salad and crackers
• Hummus and crackers or pita bread......Hummus is smashed up chick peas.

Enjoy!
