during play time...
Curb The Sugar: “Sugars are wonderful during play time,” Dorfman says. “Simple sugars from sports drinks or bars are an excellent way to get your energy up, but that’s the complete opposite of what’s recommended for your daily diet.” To fuel up before going on court or just after you finish playing, have a smoothie, fruit pop, fruit juice, or power bar. The rest of the time, you should stick to whole-grain carbs, like whole-grain bread and pasta, to ensure that you get your necessary fiber.
