Hello. My nine year old daughter is all muscle and is constantly hungry. At school, she has a morning snack that can only be fruit, veggies, cheese or yogurt and it isn't filling enough. I focus on high protein, but she is also becoming increasingly picky and just declared she no longer likes...
It's almost time for the Super Bowl... just starting this thread to talk about anything Super Bowl... including Buffalo Wild Wings!
Here's a couple of things to talk about...
I'm taking over as meet food coordinator for coaches & judges. Just wondering as coaches what foods/meals do you like or not like when attending meets. Ours is a large 3 day meet so 24+ coaches and 8+ judges at any given time. We have a loose 'menu' but trying to shake it up a little.
Hey smart parents! We have just started carpooling with a few other kids which makes our drive home a lot longer on the days we drive. I'd like to bring the girls healthy dinner in the car and am looking for some good, leak proof and eco conscious containers. We have a few small kids...
Need some help in the food area. Alex is a pretty good eater. She doesn't drink pop, eat candy, chips, etc.
But over the last 12 months - last 6 months being the worst... she had some weight gain (although not a lot) but enough to be lacking energy.
Alex went through some pretty horrible...
Ds has an incredibly fast metabolism. We discovered at his first real meet last weekend that we need a better plan for meet day food, especially if he is going to survive 6 hours between check-in and the end of the awards. He is not very picky but does have an issue with this that have a squishy...
If you are a judge or work providing judges food at meets, what do you provide for them? The few people that handled this area for meets we host are no longer with the gym and I'm helping take over that area.
Are there any requirements of what must be provided? (E.g. Vegetarian options, food...
Hi all.
My daughter has just had her hours upped as she has moved from a trial group into the development squad at her gym. The extra day is a Monday. Thing is, she has to be at gym for 4 o clock but doesn't get out of school until 3:30. So I have 30 mins to drive her to gym, get her changed...

I guess this is a mostly a question for coaches and judges...
Are you typically satisfied with the food provided for you at meets? When our gym hosts, we provide homemade (but standard American) fare. Is that typical? Would you like to see other options? Paleo/primal? Vegetarian? Vegan...
What are some good foods to eat? I have team camp next week and I need some ideas for food. We have a lunch break for 30 minutes everyday so I have to pack a lunch in the morning so I'd prefer something quick and easy
Hi,
So my practise are always when most people are eating dinner so I have to eat before I go. So I was wondering what do you guys eat before and after practice?
I'm looking for suggestions for some good snacks/small meals that are healthy, high in protein(not all have to be), and also vegetarian. There's a lot of posts about snacks during gym, but not much on food during the day. I tend to get hungry a lot, and it seems to be hard to find healthy food...
My daughter just turned 11 and she is competing level 9 this year . Her training hours and conditioning have increased a lot this fall . When I took her to the dr for her 11 year checkup , she has dropped off the charts in weight and the dr thinks she is burning more calories than she is eating...
I want to share with you our experience tonight with the end of summer league swim team banquet, because I think it will help coaches and team moms understand why it's not very nice to REWARD the team for HARD WORK and a great season with stuff that you know or should know that some members...
A friend and I are transitioning into taking over coaches food for our meets. (We will also be handling concession food.) We'd like to change things up a bit and I'd love to hear what you would like to have at meets as a coach. Most meets are Saturday lunch & dinner and Sunday breakfast, lunch...
My dd hates breakfast. She will drink a carnation instant breakfast drink (full glass of milk- calcium), but it is a major protest for anything else and sometimes a struggle just to do that. She has 4 hour morning practices so this is an issue. I don't want to get into power struggles with...
