Recovery and muscle gains cannot happen with poor nutrition.
The eating habits we establish remain with us throughout life. It is very hard to eat one way while playing football and expect to change the diet after a football career is over. Good habits are formed while the discipline of training hard develops too.
Remember: what you don't know can hurt you. In this country the American Dietetics Association recommends a high-carb, low fat, grain based diet. This is a pro-inflammatory diet, counterproductive for muscle growth, recovery and performance.
Grains cause stomach problems for some people and play havoc on your body's chemistry. Removing gluten improves digestion and improves recovery.
We are finding that a Junk Food diet causes even more problems than the ADA Diet. This is where an athlete consumes garbage calories with no nutritive value. This leads to decreased performance and excess body fat.
