“I’m the Kansas City Chiefs’ RD, and These Are the #1 Foods I Recommend Eating Before Any Exercise (Including the Super Bowl)”
“Aside from a healthy dose of adrenaline, food is definitely an MVP player on their teams. We caught up with Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, CSSD, LDN, the lead registered dietitian for the Kansas City Chiefs, to learn which foods she recommends eating before engaging in any type of exercise (including the Super Bowl) to ensure you have sufficient fuel in the tank.”
“Her ideal post-workout protein source is fish, which she uses to make a hearty, well-balanced meal like a salmon burger. “For example, a Secret Island Salmon Hot Dog on a bun with a side salad or a Secret Island Salmon Burger with lettuce and tomato and a side of fruit brings both protein and produce to the plate with great taste,” Bonci says.”
