Foods to Avoid

Before beginning your athletic activity, you should try to avoid certain foods.  You want to avoid eating foods that are full of fat before your athletic performance. Such as, french fries, doughnuts, candy bars, potato chips, and other high fat meats like steak or burgers.  You should also try to avoid any foods or drinks that have caffeine in them.  It may give you a short boost for your energy, but then it will make you crash.  Also, you don't want to eat to much before your activity or to soon because you may feel too lazy and an upset stomach.  You also don't want to eat to little because this may cause you to be distracted by your hunger and you won't be as energetic as usual.
