Women Golfers – Fuel to Win

1. Pre-Round Fueling (90 mins before tee)

  • Early tee (6–8am):
    • 1 bowl Greek yogurt parfait with granola, blueberries, and pumpkin seeds
    • 1 boiled egg or egg-white scramble with vegetables
    • Water + electrolytes
  • Mid-day tee (11am–2pm):
    • Grilled chicken breast with quinoa + kale salad, olive oil drizzle
    • ½ avocado
    • Herbal tea or water with electrolytes

2. On-Course Snacks & Hydration

  • Snack every 4–5 holes:
    • Homemade protein ball (oats, nut butter, flaxseed)
    • Apple slices with almond butter
    • Trail mix (seeds, nuts, a few dried cranberries)
  • Hydration:
    • Water each hole
    • Electrolyte tabs in bottle if hot/humid

3. Strategic Performance Aids

  • Caffeine: 2–3 mg/kg body weight (120–180 mg for most women) 30–60 mins pre-round.
  • Can be a small coffee or matcha tea.
  • Avoid large doses that disrupt focus or cause jitters.

4. Post-Round Recovery & Travel

  • Recovery meal:
    • Grilled salmon with roasted sweet potato + broccoli
    • Or chicken stir-fry with mixed vegetables + brown rice
  • Night snack: Cottage cheese with tart cherries (supports recovery & sleep).
  • Travel: stick with light, protein-rich snacks (yogurt, nuts, fruit). Hydrate consistently.

✅ Both plans are designed for 5–6-hour performance windows, steady mental focus, and recovery for multi-day tournaments.
