Are you fueling for peak performance?
Red, Yellow, and Green Food Cards
When to eat: The color of the cards, as well as the symbols, can distinguish between nutrient-rich food and not-so-nutritious foods.
Sodium: Foods cards have a Low, Moderate, or High sodium salt shaker icon. Too much salt can be unhealthy, but if you exercise regularly, you may need more salt. Adjust accordingly.
Go for Green® makes it easy for you to identify and choose foods that enhance performance. Green: High-performance fuel. Yellow: Moderate-performance fuel. Red: Low-performance fuel.
