Fuel Your Game, Ignite Your Potential!

Tips to help fuel your sport by focusing on balanced nutrition, timing of meals and snacks, and proper hydration.

These resources offer guidance for young athletes focusing on nutrition and hydration. Eating balanced meals and snacks is emphasized based on Canada's Food Guide, including vegetables, fruits, carbohydrates, and proteins. Pre- and post-exercise meal and snack suggestions are included to optimize performance and recovery along with hydration strategies during and after physical activity. The documents also encourage the availability of healthy food choices at recreation centres and sports-related events.

We encourage sports teams to post the infographic at their recreation facilities and share the Fuel Your Sport Resource with athletes, teams, coaches and families!
