A proper eating program is just as important to an elite athlete’s success as the right training program. But that is not always easy to do with work, school and after-school activities, not to mention multiple trips to the rink.
Still, it’s important to resist the lure of the fast food drive through and create nutritious and delicious meals that the entire family can enjoy.
