This is cricket nutrition tip of the week #1

Pasta is great as a delicious source of energy. But as a gut-fearing cricketer, you definitely have to choose when you eat it and what sort you eat.

Eat the whole-wheat variety. It has more nutrients and is lower GI than the white variety.

During match days and training periods that require higher carbohydrate intake (higher volume training in the winter) eat one whole-wheat pasta meal per day. During other phases (like where I'm trying to lose fat), the pasta stays on the shelf in favour of a higher lean protein, good fat, and fruit and veggie intake.
