	By the Manitoba Moose Official Site     One of the biggest challenges we face as athletes and hockey players is that of proper nutrition. It is through eating right that we allow our bodies to perform at the level that we need them to. For that reason, we at PlayYourGame.com are excited to be able to provide you with a General Nutritional outline that has been authored by the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League. We encourage you to not only read the article but also to try to incorporate some of these meals into your daily routines. It is our belief that you will undoubtedly notice a difference. Good Luck & All the Best, PYG Good nutritional planning will result in the ongoing practice of consuming both sufficient quantities of food, as well as food of good nutritional quality. This practice should begin with the consumption of a carbohydrate dense morning meal to insure optimal glycogen stores. Every attempt should be made to follow this routine, even at the expense of getting up earlier, or having nutritional snacks available for travel or early practice days. BREAKFAST IS YOUR FOUNDATION FOR THE DAY! Pre-Pre Game The evening prior to a game you should consume a meal that is 2/3 carbohydrates. In addition you should consume 2 large glasses of non-alcohol, non-caffeinated fluid with your meal. Prior to retiring for the evening have an additional large glass of water or fruit juice, as well as a high carbohydrate - low fat snack. On travel days where a proper sit-down meal may not be available here are some reasonable substitutes for the traditional chicken and pasta: High Carbo Meals High Carbo Snacks Multigrain cereal with fresh or dried fruit, low fat milk, fruit juice, whole grain toast Fruit smoothie Banana pancakes/waffles, with fruit & syrup, fruit juice, low fat milk Yogurt smoothie Low fat yogurt with granola, bagel, fresh fruit Low fat milk shake Sandwich with lean meat - roast beef/tuna/turkey, whole grain bread, lettuce, tomatoe, fresh fruit, low fat milk Fruit bars Whole grain pita sandwich, salad with low fat dressing, ice tea frozen fruit bar or frozen yogurt Cereal/trail mix Pasta with meatless sauce, grated cheese, crusty Italian bread fresh fruit compote Pretzels Turkey sub or hoagie, pretzels or baked potato chips, fresh fruit, fruit juice Bagel Chicken stir fry with rice, oriental vegetables Low fat muffin Grilled chicken sandwich, baked potatoe, salad, low fat milk Low fat granola bars Fajitas or soft tacos with rice, salad, low fat milk, frozen yogurt Dried fruit Thin crust plain or vegetarian pizza   Bagel   © 2000 Manitoba Moose Hockey Club.
