Description
We all eat! But we don’t always get our nutrition information from the place that makes the most sense. This is your complete guide to making sense of the basic nutrition in a world of information overload. This supplemental program will introduce basic concepts of nutrition and what growing bodies need to eat (calories), begin to understand the macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat), and finally connect all the pieces to our everyday lives. This program combines videos and written lessons to help students and athletes better understand concepts of nutrition and how they can apply them to their day to day lives.
