- Sport Nutrition Tip of the Month
The Nutrition Tip of the Month of December 2009 of the Coaching Association of Canada is about Nutrition on a Dime. Athletes living on their own while in school or training away from home may find themselves faced with the challenge of eating for high performance while on a limited budget. Coupled with time constraints, the many temptations of fast food outlets, convenience stores, and even the grocery store, can interfere with both living on a budget and achieving optimal nutrition. “Nutrition on a Dime – How to Fuel Up on a Shoestring Budget: An Athlete’s Guide” suggests just a few of the many planning, shopping, and preparation tips that can help you make training on a budget a nutrition success.
