Are you always on the run and not watching what you are eating or when you are eating? Do you reach for a soda and candy/sweets to get you through a long day doing SID work? Are more of your meals coming from a fast food drive thru then from a brown bag you bring to work? What about exercise? Do you make time to get out from under your desk and your never-ending to-do list to make time for yourself? If you answered yes to any of these questions then see the advice and tips provided by nutrition expert Sarah Synder of the University of Florida and Georgetown strength and conditioning coach MIke Hill.
