ASK THE NUTRITIONIST

food/snacks during tennis season
by Anne

Q: Would you please share with me what is a good breakfast with 2 hours before a match. What should we snack on before the match, what do we drink in the morning before a match and during the match? Please help. I'm new at this nutritional eating for tennis. I do eat healthy but need a little help. Thank you.

A: Dear Anne, It depends on what you like. But a general rule would be to find a snack that contains protein,fat, and a carbohydrate. For breakfast, a smoothie can be great. Many different ways of putting together a smoothie. For example, take 8 - 10 ounces of lowfat milk, 1/2 a measure cup of whole milk yogurt, a scoop of protein powder, and some mixed frozen berries may do the trick. Optional would be to blend it with a cup of ice. Take your time drinking it over an hour or so. Balanced snacks could be: 1 piece of string cheese Four or six almonds ½ piece of fruit OR Turkey (fresh or deli) and one of the following: 1 tablespoon avocado 1 tsp mayonnaise Mayonnaise/Diljon mustard/ honey Mayonnaise and dill pickle slice or cucumber slice I hope that helps, Robert
