College Snacking

2 min read
Working towards your college degree, whilst on a sports scholarship to the USA makes for a very busy schedule.  You will be expected to keep up with your classwork as much as your training, because if you don't make the grades - you don't make the team. Simple. Having the busy schedule of a student-athlete means it is even more important to ensure you are looking after your health, and maintaining a healthy diet.  Scheduling to eat between classes and training can be tight, and you will need nutritious snacks to keep you running.   [caption id="attachment_6894" align="aligncenter" width="437"] Source : Fitdeskjockey.com[/caption] Check out some of these snacking ideas to keep you going throughout the day!
