Navigating Drive Throughs

Traveling for sport can pose many challenges, including changing the way an athlete eats. In some cases, aside from packing a cooler with snacks and small meals, fast food drive throughs may be the only option. Common choices available at these types of restaurants are not typically conducive to pre-competition fueling. However, in the last couple of years, fast food establishments have made an effort to offer a wider variety of choices, some of which are great fueling options for athletes on the go.

Throughout this series, we will share swaps for popular fast food restaurants to take the guesswork out of fueling on the go!
