Strength starts with how you fuel. 🍽️💪

For Day 3 of Mental Wellness Empowerment Week, sports dietitian Amy Goodson, MS, RD, CSSD, LD, founder of The Sports Nutrition Playbook, breaks down how to shape an athlete’s plate to power performance and recovery.

Her approach is simple: divide your plate into thirds. ⅓ high-quality carbohydrates for energy, ⅓ lean protein to build and repair muscle and ⅓ colorful fruits and vegetables for vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

And fueling doesn’t stop at meals. Amy shares how pairing carbohydrates with high-quality protein at snack time can help support your body throughout the day.

Being strong means giving your body what it needs to perform better, recover faster and have more energy.

Watch the Reel to learn how to shape your athlete’s plate at every meal and snack.
