Eat lean sources of protein, such as beef, pork, white-meat
chicken and fish. Beans,
eggs, nuts, seeds, tofu and low-fat dairy foods are nutritious sources of protein as well. Too much protein can cause dehydration and calcium loss.
Healthy unsaturated fats supply you with long lasting energy to play sports. Eat avocados, salmon, walnuts and olive oil to ensure that you consume plenty of healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids.
