Pre-Season Nutrition Made Easy – Free Guide

By Nick Armistead · February 23, 2018
Pre-Season Nutrition Made Easy – Free Guide

For the first time ever, the VAFA has joined forces with elite sports nutritionist, Lisa Middleton, and the Barley+ team at Freedom Foods to create meal plans that would specifically meet the needs of VAFA players.

There are SEVEN weeks to go until Round 1 and we are certain you want to power through the pre-season in preparation for the season opener.

Thanks to Barley+, this comprehensive pre-season nutrition guide is totally FREE for VAFA players (but would be worth $100-$200 on its own).

It includes FOUR complete Monday to Sunday meal plans.  We created TWO for males and TWO for females with differences based on whether you want to get lean or get strong.

Also included are 19 unique recipes so you can quickly learn how to put the meals together!

The guide is loaded with great information such as:

  • How to identify your own nutritional challenges
  • How to eat breakfast like a King or Queen!
  • How to manage your midday meal.
  • How to snack smart
  • How to recovery and re-hydrate like the pro’s!

We are thrilled to offer this to the VAFA community at no cost, thanks to Barley+, Freedom Foods and nutritionist Lisa Middleton.
