Panther Performace

Panther Performance is a dietary performance program designed for student athletes, as well as those with an active lifestyles.


Each plate is associated with a type of training; though, it is always important to recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all when fueling your body. Your sport and position, the training environment & body composition are a few ways that show how unique your needs can be compared to your teammates. Fueling your body is critical for preventing injury, optimal performance, and maintaining daily activities.

 

 

An easy day can be applied to an easy workout, cross-training, and rest days.

 

A moderate day is focused on your typical workout and practice days. This is typically the baseline where you can adjust based on your needs and your body’s response.

 

A hard day is when we require more energy from carbs to fuel, refuel and refresh our bodies. This plate can be used before and after the event, when timed correctly.

 

 

Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source for our bodies for moderate to high-intensity exercise. Carbohydrates help with muscle contraction, maintain energy levels, and fuels our brain and muscles throughout the day.

 

Protein supports our metabolism, immune function, weight, and athletic performance. Unlike carbohydrates or fats, we can’t store this nutrients in our bodies. Regularly consuming adequate amounts of protein ensures we are replenishing the availability of this nutrient.

 

Colors, also known as fruits & vegetables, offer a variety of vitamins and minerals for normal function, growth, and maintenance.

As your training increases, so should your fat and hydration needs. 
Make sure to include these regularly with each plate appropriately.
