Rest doesn’t mean restrict. 🍽️💚

For Day 4 of Mental Wellness Empowerment Week, The Sports Nutrition Playbook is reminding student-athletes that your body deserves to be fueled on training days and rest days.

Taking a day off doesn’t mean you need to skip meals, cut out carbohydrates or feel guilty about eating. Even during downtime, your body is working; repairing muscles, restoring energy stores, supporting your immune system and preparing for what’s next. 

Continue eating regular meals and snacks, include protein throughout your day, keep carbohydrates in your routine and stay hydrated.

Your worth isn’t measured by how much you trained today. Fuel. Perform. Recover. Repeat.
