What is the best plan for surfing nutrition? The FDA food pyramid, the Atkins and South Beach diets, the RAVE food plan...so many choices. And there's a lot more to consider than just nutrition when it comes to food. There’s also cost, preparation, and, not to be forgotten, TASTE! Just try to stick to a balanced diet and stay away from the grill. Try a breakfast smoothie. Your surfing nutrition plan won’t matter if you don’t stick to it. Invest in a high powered blender and put everything in it, try any of the following: orange juice, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, frozen berries, ground flax seeds (for the Omega 3 fatty acids), and any other fresh fruits or veggies As long as you use orange juice as the base, you can put almost anything in there and it still tastes pretty good. Sometimes for a little boost of surfing nutrition before a surf put some protein powder in there as well. Try to eat more vegetables with every meal.

An easy way is to always have vegetable snack trays on hand with some low-fat dip. The dip may not be the healthiest, but it makes you definitely eat more vegetables this way. The most critical and often overlooked aspect of nutrition in a surfers diet is usually fluids. Basically we need to stay hydrated. So eat well and drink plenty of water so you are ready to catch the next big wave!!
