A contributing factor to peak performance comes as a result of
mastering the balance between nutrition and physical conditioning.
Professional athletes have achieved this and excelled at their sport.
Warfighters of the military are now are being viewed as "Warrior
Athletes" because of the nature of their work; however, unlike
professional athletes, the demands and rigors of combat operations
far surpass those of any sporting event. The importance of
performance based nutrition and peak conditioning becomes
paramount to mission success and survivability.
What does it take to build Warriors?
Benefits to Staying Fit in Combat:
• Improved sleep
• Increased muscle strength
• Improved coordination
• Increased endurance
• Faster recovery time
• Improved problem solving
• Increased flexibility
• Reduced depression/anxiety
• Increased pain tolerance
• Weight management
• Increased energy
• Improved digestion
• Faster reaction time
• Greater stress tolerance
• Increased speed
• Improved focus
• Increased adaptability
• Stronger immune system
• Most importantly – ENHANCED COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS

Fueling the Warfighter
“calls for a special performance based nutritional program…”
Although combat does present its
challenges…
#1 Access to facilities
…most are Self-Induced
Top 5 Excuses
5. ”I don’t know…"
4. ”I’ll eat healthy when I get home…”
3. ”Hamburger isn’t protein…”
2. “It might be my last meal… "
Access to FOOD
#1:“It’s free”

The “ine” (een) Diet
“We all wake up at 0-dark thirty, grab a big gulp of java (caffeine), dip a
pinch of Skoal (nicotine) and grab a few honey buns from the “gee-dunk”
(vending machine).” Navy SEAL Mike Fullerton
Makes recovery from strenuous missions more and more
difficult.
Optimizing the Warfighter in combat…

Fat
Optimizing the Warfighter
“For optimal performance and recovery, the diet of a Warfighter must be as
good as it possibly can be”
Macronutrients daily ratio:
 Carbohydrates (CHO) = 55%
 Protein = 20%
 Fat = 25%
Carbohydrate (CHO)
True or False:
“CHOs are bad. They’ll make you fat.”
Carbohydrate (CHO) = Energy Source
CPF Ratio = 55%
• Performance is enhanced by CHOs:
Whole Foods CHO
High Processed CHO
Good
Bad
Carbohydrate (CHO) = Energy Source
CPF Ratio = 55%
CHO primary source of energy:
- aka Glucose in muscle, brain, and heart
- aka Glycogen stored in liver and muscle
Glucose = brain fuel
Glycogen = muscle fuel
Carbohydrate (CHO) = Energy Source
CPF Ratio = 55%
• Two major types of CHO: Simple and Complex
• Simple:
Table sugar, honey, fruit sugars, milk sugar, brown
sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, corn sweeteners, high-fructose
corn syrup, and molasses.
• Complex:
Come from grains, fruits, seeds, potatoes, pasta, seaweed,
algae, peas and beans, and all other vegetables.

Protein
True or False:
The more protein I take the bigger I’ll get.
False
• Muscle is only 20% protein (75% water, 5% minerals, etc.)
• Above 1.6 g per lb/day may:
– inhibit muscle growth
– excess protein stored as fat or eliminated
– large quantities strain liver and kidneys
Protein = Build Muscle
CPF Ratio = 20%
• Protein needs by: age, body wt, and activity level
• Functions :
–
–
–
–
–
–
Muscle contraction
Formation of muscle, hair, nails, skin, and other tissues
Direct energy production
Repair injuries
Transport fats, vitamins, and minerals around the body
Structural roles for every part of the body
Fat
True or False:
Fat is bad.
False
• Some fats actually provide more heath benefits
E.g. Olive oil and cardiovascular protection
E.g. Salmon and Omega-3
• Mediterranean diet (skin, cardio, health) 40% fat diet
Fat
CPF Ratio = 25%
Functions:
– Major form of stored energy for:
• Exercise
• Cold temp
• During starvation
– Insulates body
– Helps transport nutrients
– Protects organs

For the Mission
“what Warfighters need to know…”
Ops at Temperatures
Foods Producing Heat:
• Foods high in CHO produce more heat
during digestion than either fat or protein.
• Drinking hot beverages increases body
heat and enhances mental awareness.
Foods that Hydrate you:
• Foods rich in H20 help replenish fluids
lost due to high temperatures.
• AVOID foods higher in sodium or that
are high in fat and harder to digest.
Foods Good for COLD Ops:
– Granola/Power Bars
– Fig Newtons
– Hot Chocolate
– Bagel with Jam
– Pretzels, Popcorn
– Corn Chips or Tortilla Chips
– Trail Mix, Crackers
Foods Good During HEAT Ops:
– Watermelon
– Oranges
– Strawberries
– Fruit Popsicles
– Grapes
– CHO Beverages with Electrolytes
Ops at Elevations
•
•
•
•
Higher altitudes = burn more calories
Common – loss of weight and muscle mass
Prevented by eating regularly (below 15,000 ft)
Reasons for weight loss:
–
–
–
–
–
Increased energy requirements to 115–150% of sea level requirements
Decreased sense of taste, reducing food intake
Changes in the metabolism of fat and CHO
Loss of body water from (breathing rate and dry air)
Impaired absorption of nutrients
Sustained Ops
• Missions over 24 hours with minimal sleep and few rest periods
• Consume adequate amounts of CHO and fluids
• Avoid high-fat foods
CHO + some Protein list:
–
–
–
–
–
–

–
Granola/Power Bars
Oatmeal Cookies
Hot or Cold Protein/CHO Beverage
Bagel with Jam
Pretzels
Trail Mix
Dried or Fresh Fruit
Crackers with Hard Cheese
Night Ops
Choose foods LOW in CHO and HIGH in Protein
AVOID (makes you sleepy)
• Oats
• Bananas
• High Protein Meat (Fish, Poultry, Steak)
• Sesame seeds, Pumpkin seeds
• Milk and Yogurt
• Chickpeas
• Sunflower Seeds, Peanuts
• Cottage Cheese, Mozzarella Cheese
• Eggs
• Ham
EAT (sustains energy)
• Power Bars/Peanut Toffee/Cool Mint
Chocolate Clif Bar
• Bagel with Cream Cheese
• Protein/CHO Beverage
• Trail Mix
• Crackers with Peanut Butter or Cheese
• Dark Chocolate (semi-sweet)
• Hot Tea or Iced Tea
• Coffee
• Coffee Flavored Yogurt
For the Warrior
“Get the Edge…”
Bulking Up
• Proper and consistent strength training, adequate rest, and a
balanced diet will aid in building strength and muscle mass
– Bigorexia – obsession about being muscular
– 0.6 - 0.9 g protein x body wt (per day)
– Quality vs. Quantity (real food):
•
•
•
•
•
Chicken breast, 8 oz. = 72 g
Sirloin steak, 8 oz. = 62 g
Beef jerky, 8 oz. = 72 g
Chili, 8 oz. = 19 g
Clif bars, 2.4 oz = 10 g
Bulking Up
• Proper and consistent strength training, adequate rest, and a
balanced diet will aid in building strength and muscle mass
Daily energy come from:
– 50% – 70% CHO (Primary fuel for strength)
– < 35% Fat (mono/poly-unsaturated)
Increase Power & Overcoming Fatigue
All strenuous activities deplete Glycogen…
…it must be replenished to override fatigue and accelerate recovery
Fatigue
Signs:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Unexplained, persistently poor performance
Moodiness, general fatigue, depression, and irritability
Increased risk - upper respiratory infections and GI
Elevated morning resting pulse
Insomnia
Weight loss
Overuse injuries
Painful muscles
Increasing Power & Overcoming Fatigue
