Powered BY Beef

The Powered By Beef; Performance Through Protein program takes a real food first approach to sports nutrition. The focus of the high school and collegiate program is a balanced diet built on top of foundation of protein, specifically beef.  The overall goal of this program is to educate athletes on how to pre-fuel and refuel while they train before, during and after their sporting season. The NDBC is committed to education of student athletes through the “POWERED BY BEEF” program. This program is made possible through Beef Checkoff Dollars funded by North Dakota Beef producers.
