Eat to Excel - Training Type and Meal Component
CARBS: Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for our bodies for moderate to high-intensity exercise. Helps with muscle contraction, maintaining energy levels, and fueling our brain and muscles throughout the day.
PROTEIN: Unlike carbohydrates or fats, we can’t store protein in our bodies. Regularly consuming adequate amounts of protein ensures we are replenishing the availability of this nutrient. Protein supports metabolism, immune function, weight, and athletic performance.
COLORS: Also known as fruits & vegetables offer a variety of vitamins and minerals for normal function, growth, and maintenance.

*Although we take great lengths to accommodate students with food allergies, we prepare food in open kitchens where cross contact with foods containing allergens may occur and we rely on our suppliers ingredient listings and may not be aware of ingredients contained in the food, but not listed on the container or packaging. As such, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment
