• Protein (10-15%)
• Fat (remaining %)

Fat Can Be Good

Fat in a diet can increase stamina. "Good fats" include: nuts, seeds, olive oil and avocados.

What To Eat

To achieve optimum results, outdoor enthusiasts should have a good supply of the following foods:

• Pastas
• Whole grains (oatmeal, rice, bread)
• Starchy vegetables (potatoes, corn)
• Legumes and some fibrous vegetables and fruits (vitamins)

Building for Endurance

For endurance, the best source of energy comes from complex carbohydrates. Taking in carbohydrates an hour before exercising can help to sustain energy.

Proteins Are Good

Proteins help the immune system and provide amino acids that strengthen cells and tissues.

Hydration is Key

Winter sports offer great workouts. As a result, participants need a lot of fluids. Staying hydrated is essential. Drink plenty of liquids before, during and after you participate. Water or sports drinks are best.
