food

I'm supposed to tell my mom what to get me foodwise for the next couple competitions, and I was just wondering, what do you guys normaly bring to competitions. My normal is fruit, nuts, crackers. Stuff like that.

Although Im not big on the cold. Luckily in Arkansas it doesn't get below freezing for long. But, Im one of those that stays cold the whole winter and I don't thaw out until late spring, early summer. (and then I bake when its in the triple digits for the better part of 2 months..lol) We have...

I couldn't resist the title ;) In a normal day, how well do you eat? By this I mean how many treats do you have a day? Since I was little I've always tried to get every food group in each of my meals, and generally allowed myself one treat a day. A treat could be a bowl of ice cream for snack...

We are making preparations for our home meet. I would love to hear from coaches your favorite food items and snacks you have had at meets. Thanks for your input!

I've been searching for some current data on how much an average family (say, a family of 4) spends on groceries each month. There are very little and current statistics available in the internet (maybe I am using the wrong search engines). We've allotted, what I feel is a sizable amount for...

Hey! So one friday my family and I will be going to the beach for a week!!(: and my mom and I have decided to have some fun and make all the guys in my family, (brother, dad, and sister's boyfriend) make lunch one day...but not a normal lunch...(nothing's ever normal with my family) there's this...

If you have read either the post in Technical Talk or visited the proposed 2012 changes PDF at USAG you have noticed that although there are some general skill changes the biggest difference is the slide of the Level titles to accomodate a 50-50 compulsory/optional split (i.e. a new optional...

So - meet coming up this weekend, report time of 5:30. About an hour travel time to get there. Can someone help me backtrack food for this? Her last afternoon/evening meet started late, then there were issues with the scores, so the awards were delayed. She was exhausted and starving by...

I have noticed a trend in our area to post place standings vs scores. Posting I am referring to club websites,facebook pages, and local newspapers. I am confused by this because why not post both the place and the score. Many times a gymnast will score lower but receive a higher place standing...

Ok so DD has only one local meet this year and so we will be on the road a lot. Fast food will definatley be coming into play before meets. I worry about the grease just sitting at the bottom of her stomach before a meet. What are some good choices for pre meet fast food meals (or a good as I...

Could you chime in on the quality of the food served at the gymnastics camps you have attended? We just got back from 5 days at science camp and it was AWFUL. It was family camp week, and I would not send my children there alone until they were old enough to be making wise food choices on...

My labrador retriever developed what we found out is a grain allergy. The signs were her elbows lost fur, and she was practically eating her paws when she laid down for over 5 minutes. After being offered a $70.00 bag of pet food by the vet I decided to look into feeding alternatives. I saw a...

I could use some ideas on food selections for Flipper. Here's the problem: she has had a rough winter with H1N1, getting tooth infections (finally had two of the 4 involved pulled) and now staph infections. She has never been a very big kid, but is now struggling to maintain her weight. At the...

Searching for other's ideas for "fuel" for my Mojo gymmie. She's fighting a cold, not miserable, but her sustained energy and focus is really low. We are competing this weekend (early meet for us) at State Games of America in Colorado Springs and I really would like to keep her energy and...

I drove my gymie to an early morning meet Saturday and we had to leave home at about 6:30am. She can't eat that early, but she obviously needs nourishment before competing, so our intention was to stop along the way on our 2-hour drive. All she kept talking about was getting a hamburger...
