Alright, this question comes out of nothing but pure curiosity (aka nosiness ) but I’m interested to know what a competitive gymnast would eat on a typical day. As a recreational “gymnast” (more like “constant faller” but whatever) I’d say I eat decently healthy but I do wonder what the more...
I'm asking this both out of a gymnast point of view and a coach point of view.
1. As a gymnast, I'm not allowed to take my bag into the competition room. Last year I just went with it, but by the last event I was mostly so thirsty I couldn't focus. How would you eat/drink during a meet?
2. I'm...
I've seen plenty of conversations about what to feed the kids, especially with long drives and practices that stretch over the dinner hours. I feed my kids dinner in the car, but I struggle to feed myself.
My son has 3 hour practices 30 minutes away from our house. They have a microwave and I'm...
Dd has always eaten dinner before practice, but just recently she has started feeling sick before gym. She spends quite a bit of time running to the bathroom. She isn't sick before eating. So this morning she told
She isn't eating dinner before practice. It is only a 3 hour practice but we don't...
I cheated tonight. Mine ate a yakisoba bowl from cost co and two halos...oh, and a piece of cheese when she got home. We get home about 8:20, she is in bed by 9pm.
Little LDW has a late report time coming up 6:30 pm warm up. Close to home. I am sure the earliest we will be done is 9:30 if lucky. Clearly won't be having dinner then
We have never had such a late report time. Any advice on when to get some dinner into her?
I was thinking 4-ish she is not...
Okay, so I have a meet coming up and I have no idea what to eat before then. In the mornings, I'm never hungry, so I need ideas on what to eat before a meet. Also, some ideas on what to bring during the meet would be helpful too.
So - is there anyone whose kiddies get a multivit?
DD ate a lot of fruit and veggies, but some weeks ago started to get stomach cramps etc. She was actually never really sick for a long time, but her stomach/digestion often bothered her now when I look back.
So we have been to several doctors...
Hi,
So I was wondering what a average day of eating would look like to you. I find it really hard to know what to eat so I have the most energy for practise
I usually eat
Breakfast: Smoothie (sometimes with a slice of whole grain bread as a side or a egg )
Lunch: Quinoa salad, salad with...
Here is a video of one of the girls at a competition in the UK yesterday, she was the last competor everyone else had finished so all eyes where on her, and wow did she go out with a bang! You can't see the audience reaction here but it was truly amazing, she could have easily got a standing...
My daughter started gymnastics at around 7 1/2 at a recreational gym. She's currently 10 1/2 and she just finished competing level 3 USAG at more competetive gym. She did ok, with her highest score being just under 35. She's got the skills solid, but her form is what keeps her from scoring...
Hello everyone. I'm turning 15 next month and I am 125 lbs. 5.5. I am level 10 gymnast. Train 6 days a week and 4 hours a week. My muscle:weight ratio is not quite equal. Besides conditioning I want to eat LESS but healthier. And for a month, due to injuries I will not be training at all and I...

Hi everyone,
I wanted to know what is good to eat for meals and also as snacks that would give me enough energy to get through practice an stay focused. I don't really know anything about nutrition but wanted to know if anybody had any recipes or advice for me on meals that would give me a lot...
I am wondering what everyone feeds their gymmies before/after workout, meets etc. I used to be so dilligent about what my gymmie ate and I have since slacked off. We are trying to come up with a good diet plan for her (not diet as in loose weight, but diet as in what they are consuming) and...
If you have to pack a lunch for your child to eat during practice, what do you put in it? My DD will practice from 8:30 to 1:30 three times a week, and she is supposed to bring a lunch. The gym is not air-conditioned, and it gets really hot in there. They also get an ice pop break during...
Ok, my dd (age 7) is in the gym 5-7 hours a week and it seems like she is hungry all the time. She will finish a big meal and ask for a snack minutes later. I've never been one to deny her food as long as she is making healthy choices but sometimes I have to wonder if she is really hungry...
