About The Game Of Eating Smart: Nourishing Recipes For
Product Description An inside look at the food that fuels today’s top Major League Baseball stars In Major League Baseball, the transition to eating healthy food has become more than a movement; it’s a revolution. Jose Altuve, Chris Archer, Clayton Kershaw, Noah Syndergaard, Mike Trout, and the 16 other star ballplayers featured in The Game of Eating Smart are proof of the positive effect of proper nutrition on athletic performance and overall health. Eating smart isn’t about calorie-counting and fad diets. It simply means consuming more nourishing food—including leafy greens, lean protein, and fresh fruit—that eventually decreases the desire to make unhealthy choices. The Game of Eating Smart includes insights from today’s top players on their approach to healthy living and performance nutrition, plus more than 80 easy-to-prepare and nutrient-dense recipes inspired by their food philosophies and favorite meals.

We are a healthy family that likes to eat right. Also, my dad noticed some of the big league players eating well and playing well, so he recommended that I improve my diet. Since I changed my diet a few years ago, I’ve noticed a big difference in my performance.I’ve noticed a connection between my eating habits and performance because when I eat right, I not only go out there and play well, I also feel well. I feel better on and off the field, and my recovery is much faster. Once I started eating better, I noticed a 100 percent change. Now I can play all season and I still feel great after it’s over. After the season, I want to still go out there and play baseball. I feel faster, and after a game I sleep better. I feel very healthy.My breakfast routine starts at about 7:00 a.m. with an omelet of spinach, onions, and tomatoes, and two pieces of wheat bread. I eat some fruit, too, usually pineapple. I also eat bananas and watermelon, and occasionally an apple. I like a mixed fruit salad with strawberries. In my refrigerator you’ll always find fruit and yogurt. For a midmorning snack, I will eat yogurt and granola. Then later in the day I eat a protein bar or a smoothie for energy—especially on really active days when I need to keep my calories high.
