12 Performance Nutrition Thoughts for the Holiday Week
12 Performance Nutrition Thoughts for the Holiday Week
By Alicia Kendig, USOC Sport Dietitian
1. It’s the holidays! A time to celebrate with family and friends, but during this small break from training, it’s wise to continue to make healthy performance based food choices…most of the time.

2. When given cookies/treats, share them with your family. If given lots of treats throughout the holidays, freeze some to enjoy at another time.
3. As an athlete, lead by example. You are a role model for many, including your family and friends. Set a good example by eating performance based meals and snacks.
