HEALTHY BALLER It’s About How & What You Eat.

In a perfect world we would all have the time to sit down and take our time to eat a healthy well balanced meal that doesn’t have 30 unpronouncable ingredients. Unfortunately it’s not a perfect world and more often than not, athletes, coaches and parents are sprinting all over the map to get to practices, games, workouts and who knows what else. This type of lifestyle tends to rely heavily on convenience when making food choices.

I feel it’s important that our athletes and coaches know the best and worst fast food options. It is possible to eat healthier at many of these traditionally unhealthy fast food locations.

HERE ARE A FEW RULES BEFORE YOU RUN OUT TO YOUR LOCAL DRIVE THRU:

Avoid any fried foods whenever possible (french fries, fried chicken, fried anything for that matter) While fried foods tend to have great taste, they also contain high levels of unhealthy fats so limit these as best you can.

Stick with water as your main liquid Most athletes don’t drink enough prescribed water as it is. There’s honestly not much time to drink anything else. You’re better off avoiding sodas and sugary drinks as they’re not doing your body a favor.

Opt for a leaner protein source each time you choose your meal (ex. grilled chicken sandwich) The fattier meats tend to hold toxins within the fat stores. Unfortunately, many of the animals providing meat to the fast food restaurants are not the healthiest beings due to the way they’re treated and fed. Keep your eyes open for lower fat options when choosing a protein source.

Look for healthier menu items Many of these fast food restaurants are attempting to re-gain your business by providing healthier options. Be sure to look out for salads, fruit options and smoothies as they can be a great alternative to a high fat burger.
