Add some power with better protein

Calendar June 28, 2010 | Posted by Brandon

Hello Hitter’s, Here is a short list of quality proteins for optimum performance.

Your nutrition is the most important aspect of your game. It is one of very few variables that you can control. You can’t control the pitch being thrown, the location and speed, or the umpires call, but you can control what you put in your body.

Proper nutrition is the pinnacle of my “Move Better. Feel Better. Play Better” philosophy. Many people have a very hard time eating properly.
Here are 5 quality protein sources that you CAN incorporate into your diet tonight.

1. Chicken/Turkey Breast
2. Almonds
3. Salmon/Haddock
4. Organic Eggs (my new favorite!!)
5. Tuna

Of course there are several other great sources, but try to get all of these or at least some of these into your regular diet now. They are readily available and can be eaten at all times of the day.

BONUS- here is the best “done for you” nutrition program around.This is so fool proof, even I can follow it. Remember, any “change” to your lifestyle will take at least 4-6 weeks to yield results, so whatever you plan on trying, give it a chance.

Add some power to your game with quality protein!
