NUTRITION
General Nutritional Guidelines

1.
Drink lots of water drink 10-12 8 ounce glasses of water a day. Avoid soda, and limit fruit
juice. Water flushes out the body of toxins, provides a feeling of being full so you don't eat as much, and
might speed up the metabolism causing you to burn more calories.
2.
Do not skip a meal each meal should have a protein component and a carbohydrate component
from fruits or vegetables.
3.
Eat breakfast this provides a consistent amount of energy for the body sparing muscle mass
frombeing burned for energy.
4.
Eat smaller, more frequent meals eat 4-5 small-medium meals a day. Eat three meals to the
point of being satisfied - NOT full. Then supplement with two small meals spaced in between the
regular three meals.

What Food To Eat

Protein lean red meat, turkey, chicken (boost your protein intake when performing high intensity
strength training)
Carbohydrates green and yellow veggies, fruits (boost your carbohydrate intake as your running
volume increases)

Fats nuts and seeds (this is a gret source of Vitamin E and essential fats which are good for energy and
producing hormones)
Fiber this is a type of carbohydrate that aids in digestion and provides a full feeling that will cause you
to eat less.
Sources of grains and fiber: beans, peas, brown rice, whole corn, whole wheat, oats, All-Bran Cereal,
Raisin Bran, Puffed Wheat Cereal, Shredded Wheat, peanuts, carrots, sunflower seeds, cauliflower, pears,
bananas, peaches, apples, oranges, dried figs, dried apricots, raisins, prunes.

What Foods To Avoid

Avoid high quantities of white rice, pasta, and brea, potatoes

Fried foods French ries, burgers, fried fish and chicken, etc.
High sugar foods candy and cakes
Caffeine coke, chocolate, coffee (caffeine suppresses the appetite and dehydrates)

Tips for Losing Fat Weight

Decrease your 'third choice' carbohydrate intake by 10-15%. Maintain your intake of green and
yellow vegetables and fruits and fiber

Plan your meals. This will allow you to better control the quality of food you eat.

Eat your meals at approximately the same times of the day.

Take a bottle of water and a snack with you if you know you will be away from easy sources of
food.

Do not skip meals, especially breakfast. This will help keep you from overeating.

Eat high protein foods as a snack in the evening to help increase protein intake and decrease
hunger. Great examples include: peanut butter sandwich and milk, egg whites, protein shake

Trim excess fat and skin away from meat and poultry before cooking

When at a restaurant, be aware of the size of the meal. Restaurants usually serve oversized
portions. One way of limiting the size of a meal is to share with a friend.

Tips for Gaining Muscle Weight

Keep yourself hydrated carry a bottle of water with you to class.

Eat more frequently (5-6 meals per day) don't stuff yourself at each meal (you'll only get fat).
Spread your calories out during the day.

Always eat breakfast even if it's not a complete breakfast, eat something healthy.

Increase your protein intake through high protein snacks such as peanut butter sandwiches,
yogurt, egg whites, turnkey sandwich, milk, protein shakes, high protein energy bars.

Eat a high protein-late evening snack before bed. Keep the carbohydrate level low when eating at
this time.

Supplement with a Whey Protein Shake for 2 of your 5-6 daily meals.

Supplementation
According to an NCAA survey, approximately 60% of college age athletes are currently
using nutritional supplements. Obviously, as coaches, we want our athletes to
perform at their peak and reach their potential. This is what we want you to know
before engaging in supplementation.

Fallacies of Supplementation

athletes may focus more on the supplement than what is in their daily diet
supplements are NOT a substitute for proper eating and hydration
more is NOT better, and is almost always worse
natural and safe are not the same thing
supplements are not well regulated and have no guarantee of positive or negative effects
supplements can interact (negatively) with one another or with a prescription medication

Most commonly used categories of muscle building

supplements

various versions of protein powders/weight gainer

amino acid supplements
creatine
Yohimbe
Chromium

androstenedione
norandro
DHEA
Human Growth Hormone
HMB (hydroxy methylbutyrate)
GHB/GBL

Illegal and Banned Substances

Natural Supplementation
Certain foods eaten as snacks in between meals will help you gain lean body mass.

Milk

fruit-mixed milk shakes (favorite fruit, milk, powdered milk and plain or vanilla yogurt)

peanut butter sandwiches

bananas

'nutrition bars' Power Bar, Balance, etc.

What you need to know about each muscle builder

Protein Powders you probably get enough protein in your diet already. Make sure your diet is
balanced already and the mixture is not loaded with sugar.
Amino Acids very costly for the amount you get. Inefficient way of getting protein. Individual or
partial group aminos can cause imbalance and upset stomach. You can get as much protein in a 10 ounce
glass of milk as a 10,000mg amino acid dose.
Creatine it has been proven to work for some but not all. Many of the short term effects have been
eliminated if creatine is not overdosed (recommended: 1g/80lbs of body weight). The jury is still out on
long term effects of overdosing. Creatine is the last step in supplementation NOT the first.
DHEA, Andro, Norandro, HGH, GHB, GBL (along with, of course, steroids) are all banned by the
NCAA due to negative effects. GHB and GBL are extremely dangerous.
HMB may be effective, but few studies have been perfomed and it is extremely expensive.
Yohimbe said to boost testosterone... does not. Can damage kidney and increase blood pressure.
Chromium has NO muscle building effect.

Thermogenic (Fat Burners)

Ephedra or Ephedrine banned by NCAA. Central Nervous System stimulant that can be stressful on
the heart especially in hot, humid conditions.
Can also be labeled as: Ma Huang, epitonin or sida coridfolia
Caffine in herbal form may be listed as: guarana, mate and kola nut. In large doses, can cause
dehydration.

Herbal Supplements

The herbal supplement industry is huge and unregulated. Since unregulated, any claim to effects can be
made without serious testing being performed. Many are harmless and have absolutely no effect. Some,
though, can cause allergic reactions and can interfere with prescription medications.

Vitamin/Mineral Supplements

Many athletes think that taking a vitamin/mineral supplement will correct poor dietary habits. A bad diet
with vitamin/minerals is a well supplemented bad diet. Again, a balanced diet must be achieved first. If
an athlete wants to take a vitamin/mineral, it should be taken everyday and should be a
multivitamin/mineral supplement instead of individual vitamins.

Other things you need to know about Supplementing

realize that what works for one person does not always work for another.

Write down everything you eat for two weeks and HONESTLY appraise your dietary habits Good
or Bad?

Educate yourself about nutrition know what and what not, how much, and when to eat and drink

Ask for expert advice

immediately report any side effects in taking a new supplement

the person selling the supplement will probably tell you anything to get your money.

Effects of Alcohol on Performance

Information obtained from article written by Aaron Shelly Director of Sports Performance and
Nutrition at Texas Tech.
It has been estimated that the average American college student drinks more than 34 gallons of
alcohol a year. Alcohol may provide as much as 20% of calories in the diet of some drinkers.
This section will take a look at some of the effects alcohol can have on the performance of
athletes.

Dehydration

Alcohol is a powerful diurectic which can cause severe dehydration and electrolyte
imbalances.

Severe dehydration can require several days to a full week to recover.

When dehydrated, an athlete is at greater risk for muscular injuries such as: cramps,
muscle pulls and muscular strains.

Dehydration also contributes to decreased appetite and muscle wasting (losing muscle
mass)

Loss of muscle mass results in decreases in strength.

Testosterone

Binge drinking can dramatically decrease serum testosterone

Lowered testosterone can result in reduced: aggression, lean muscle mass, muscular
recovery

Performance

Alcohol use will also result in impaired reaction time and mental acuity for up to several

days

Alcohol consumption will cause a decrease in hand-eye coordination

Alcohol interferes with lactic acid breakdown which results in increased soreness after
breakdown

Fat Storage

Alcohol has seven calories per gram (carbohydrate & protein = 4 calories/g; fat = 9
calories/g)

Alcohol is stored much like fat in the body

Alcohol destroys amino acids, the building block of muscle, and stores it as fat

Energy pathways are impaired and large amounts of lactic acid are produced resulting in
fatigue, reduced recovery and post exercise soreness

Social

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and can impair judgment which can lead to
injured

Alcohol use has been associated with an increase homicides, suicides, fatal auto accidents
and fights

Impaired judgment and decreased inhibition (ability to say NO) has resulted in
numerous cases of date rape

CONVERSION CHARTS
How to use the conversion chart:
The conversion charts are used to estimate the amount of weight you are going to use for each weight training
set. Please note that a series of charts are provided that represent all the rep progressions used in the design
of the program. The use of these charts requires that you gain a fairly accurate indication of your strength
levels in each lift. If you do not have an idea of what your max is for a certain lift, you should shoot for a lower
maximum weight until you can prove to yourself that you can handle a heavier maximum weight. Then begin
to progress for that weight.
As you get stronger, you will be able to complete more reps with the prescribed weight. At that point, bump up
to the next higher maximum weight level.
See the example of the chart below...

As an example, you feel your best effort in the Clean is 170 lbs. Simply use the three weight amounts
indicated on the chart that correspond with your 170 max. In this example, the amounts used for each set
would be: 110 for the 1st set, 120 for the 2nd set, and 130 for the 3rd set.
If fewer sets are prescribed that what the chart indicates, use the heavier two or last sets on the chart. An
example would be an exercise calling for 2 sets of 10. Assuming the same max of 170 pounds, the 1st set
would be performed with 120 pounds and the 2nd with 130.
