A healthy diet for an active body needs ALL macronutrients, specifically: protein for tissue repair, healthy fat to support physiological functions and carbohydrates to provide energy for high-intensity activities as well as supporting muscle growth. Food is fuel for your body; if you like to exercise and being physically active then you need the proper nutrition so that your body can perform its best while you're enjoying your favorite activities. With so much mis-information about fad diets and which foods are best for you it's hard to know where to go or who to trust for advice. Angie Asche, RDN is a sports and performance dietitian who started Eleat Sports Nutrition to provide her clients with evidence-based nutrition advice so that they can function at their highest level of performance. Whether you want to lose weight, add lean muscle mass, train for an athletic competition or to simply look better in your bathing suit, what you eat makes a big difference in the results you get from your workouts.
Angie wrote the book, Fuel Your Body: How to Cook and Eat for Optimal Performance to help readers learn how to identify the best nutrition for their needs. On this episode of All About Fitness, Angie discusses why it's so important to get nutrition from credible sources, provides important insights on the proper nutrition for different fitness goals and shares time-saving strategies for how to eat healthy with a busy schedule.
