Fueling up for SportsChapter Summaries Follow MyPyramid to get enough food energy and nutrients for your peak physical performance. Get most of your food energy from complex carbohydrates, not from extra protein. Carefully plan and choose what you eat and drink before, during, and after physical activity. Focus on frequency, intensity, and time in your workouts. Make nutrition an ongoing training strategy, even in the off-season. Drink enough fluids to avoid dehydration. Plain water is the best choice. Be cautious of eating plans or nutrition supplements that promise top performance or more muscle. Content and Academic Vocabulary Content Vocabulary
