"Use of food labels, another form of communication-only tool, does influence dietary habits, but in a conditional manner...individuals who use labels report reductions in fat intake but
not an increase in fruits and vegetables simply because one can read
nutritional facts of processed foods but not fruits and vegetables."
​
Food labels are an important tool, but are not the only thing one should look at for nutritional information. Everyone should have a basic understanding of nutritious food. Fruits and vegetables do have lots of carbs but they are healthy carbs, they also have tons of micronutrients that are important for everyones health. Processed foods should be avoided.
Before exercise, a meal or snack should provide sufficient fluid to maintain hydration.
​
During exercise, primary goals for nutrient consumption are to replace fluid losses and provide carbohydrates.
​
After exercise, dietary goals are to provide adequate fluids, electrolytes, energy, and carbohydrates to replace muscle glycogen and ensure rapid recovery.
