TNT 2010 Nutrition Seminar

Eating for the Health of It

This year's Nutrition Seminar was held at the Bryant Bank Community Room in Daphne and was presented by TNT team parent, Sara Federico, MS RD.  Sara began by defining "diet" and detailing the importance of carbohydrates, protiens, fats and fluids in a swimmer's diet.  She explained the difference between good and bad carbohydrates and fats, as well as some simple methods of identifying the best source of calories for growth and performance needs. 

The seminar included a delicious meal prepared by TNT volunteer parents. An appetizer of meatballs and potatoe skins with cheese was provided by Amy Boles. The main course of taco soup, cheese and chips was provided by Mary Beth Mantiply.  A dessert of chocolate dipped strawberries and brownies were provided by Christine Fouty, Karen Sledge and LaDonna Stough.
