In this brief YouTube monologue, the speaker addresses athletes who feel heavy or "gross" when they eat before practice. He explains that the discomfort usually stems from eating the wrong foods and emphasizes that the body needs carbohydrates before training. To solve this, he recommends two specific snacks—Made Good granola and Soli fruit jerky—as easy-to-digest, carb‑rich options that provide energy without the heaviness. He notes that the recommendation is not sponsored and reflects his personal favorite choices, aiming to give viewers a practical, low‑risk solution for pre‑practice nutrition.

Athletes, if you feel gross eating before your practice or your training, then run to Costco and grab these. This is Made Good granola, and this is Soli fruit jerky. Personally, one of my favorite snacks. If you're scared to eat before practice because in the past you felt gross or heavy, chances are you were just eating the wrong thing. Your body needs carbohydrates before you train. These are gonna give your body the energy that it needs, but also make it so you're not gonna feel all gross and weird and heavy throughout practice. This is not sponsored. I just really like those snacks.
