GOLF NUTRITION
DON'T LOSE YOUR ENERGY AND FOCUS
FOOD INTAKE DURING A ROUND
1. Start your Sharp Focus Nutrition upon arriving at the golf course by drinking water immediately and enjoying your first food item.
2. Attach the clip to your golf bag and then enjoy the other 4 items in the order identified on each package.
3. Sip water on every hole as you play.
Because of physical and mental strain during a 4+-hour round, it’s necessary to replace carbohydrates and protein throughout play. Research shows you should do so in small increments, and Sharp Focus Nutrition recommends every four holes. Glucose from carbohydrates gets into your bloodstream quickly so Sharp Focus Nutrition’s ordering of carbohydrates and protein is essential.
Energy bars use a binding ingredient to form the bar and, consequently, they can cause rapid changes in blood sugar hampering performance. We don't recommend them!
PRE-ROUND
Good nutrition requires lean proteins for muscle repair and recovery and quality carbohydrates for fuel. Important vitamins and minerals are provided by fresh or dried fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds.
POST-ROUND RECOVERY
Recovery meals and snacks should contain protein like fish or lean meat, a moderate amount of carbohydrates, tasty vegetables and plenty of fluid and electrolytes to replace sweat losses. No junk food! Muscles need protein to recover, not be sore and function properly. Stick to a two to one protein-to-carbohydrate ratio.
On certain days you may fall off the wagon and not prepare properly or maybe consume alcohol. Don’t dwell on it – just move on and get back to your consistent nutrition routine.
Carbo-loading is a misconception. You need a balanced diet.
Get a good night’s sleep and start your day with a healthy breakfast. If you have a late tee time, eat a nutritious meal 2 to 3 hours prior to starting golf warm-up so your body has time to digest it and break it down for energy absorption. This meal should include good carbohydrates for fuel, protein to reduce hunger and fluids for hydration.
