Question of the Week: As an athlete, should your nutrition change when you’re injured? 🙋🏻♀️
This is one I’m very familiar with currently & doing my best to stay on track! The answer is YES. In fact, when you’re injured you probably need to be resting even better because your body needs the extra nutrients to properly heal. Now you may not be expending as much energy as when you’re typically training, so you may not need the same QUANTITY of food, but the QUALITY needs to be on point.
So keep up with your protein shakes, make sure you’re getting plenty of fruits & veggies, & do your best to stay active! 🫐🥬🥑🍳
(By the way, that cheesecake had 6g of protein in it 😜)
