Managing Appetite in the Off-Season

In the off-season, managing appetite can be challenging, especially when food intake is at an all-time high. One effective strategy includes being aware of how specific foods affect digestion and overall comfort. For example, swapping out high-volume foods like cream of rice for lighter options, such as rice cereal or oats, can alleviate discomfort and facilitate better digestion. By carefully monitoring how different foods impact their appetite and making necessary adjustments, athletes can maintain higher calorie consumption without sacrificing their comfort.
