I think the only nutrition goal that I have to continue my eating habits. I eat mostly healthy because my mom usually cooks healthy home meals, and she doesn't really buy food from fast food places. Right now I want to maintain my current weight. The only modification I would really make to my food habits is to eat a bit less carbs and eat more vegetables and fruits. But I carb load before big volleyball tournaments. I could do this by maybe having a serving of fruits with my lunch, or putting more vegetables in my sandwiches.
I don't really have any limitations that prevent me from eating healthy. The food my mom buys and cooks is usually organic and healthy. I have more limitations to eating unhealthy because it's almost never available in my house. I could take away the informed dinning thing that we learned about so I can know what is in the food I'm eating if I do eat out.
There is nothing wrong with carb loading before tournaments. You may want to start eating carbs the day and night before as well as the day of (balancing them out over several meals). Fruits and Vegetables are carbs, they are just less heavy and starchy carbs. Adding more fruit and vegetables to your diet is good idea. If you plan to use fruits and vegetables as a replacement to bigger and heavier carbs ex. potatoes, pasta, rice, grains, I would only do so if you don't have any physical activities planned for the rest of the day.
