I wanted this to be separate from my thread about pre meet meals, because this is something my mom wanted me to ask, lol. What are good, healthy, family friendly, dinner meals? we rotate a few, but they are getting boring. Please feel free to share meals, main courses, side dishes, etc. and if...
I would love love love some ideas on healthy snacks that can either be made on the weekends or something and stored for the week or made really quickly before eating. Readymade also works if its available for a reasonable price in publix/walmart/Kroger..
I don't like peanut butter and yoghurt...
What is an appropriate weight for a female thirteen year old gymnast? I weight around 140 pounds and I am really healthy and fit but I have some concerns. Some people have called me fat, sometimes even as a joke, but now I look in the mirror and I don’t know what to think. My thighs are awful...
My daughter is Xcel Silver and practices from 4p-8p twice a week. With our current schedule she gets off the school bus at my work and we immediately head to practice. I usually have her a snack to eat in the car (25 minute drive) and pack snacks for her to eat during break. I feel like I am...
I am looking for some healthier options for meals and snacks for my gymmie (and the rest of the family too!). What are some of your favorite recipes, particularly breakfast and packed lunches and snacks? Also, what do you typically feed your gymmie on competition day or night before?
Long story short my son's coach has offered to keep snacks is in his office for my son for before practice (he goes straight from school). My question is what do you recommend? We have a very strict nut free building policy at our gym so my go to (and his favorite) of peanut butter type stuff is...
I will be resuming competitive training again very soon- 16 hours per week. Unfortunately, practice ends when meal hall closes, so I will miss dinner. Meal hall is mostly junk anyway, and with greater access to appliances now, I can avoid it more often than I was previously able. Good riddance...
Hi, would there be interest in a social forum on healthy eating?
I’m happy to be the moderator but (like gymnastics) I’m definitely not an expert. As a matter of fact I’m guessing many of you know much more about healthy eating than I do.
The rules would be that there can’t be any posts about...
Hello!
So, we sign the team contract for the first time this weekend. I have a ton of questions like I'm sure most new team parents have, but I'm confident that most of them will be answered at the contract meeting. Here's one question that I think might not come up though....there is a little...
I have a 6 year old who is tiny (42 inches and 40 pounds) that is starting 3 hour boys team gymnastics practices (4 days a week) soon. The coach will be gradually working him into this schedule.
I'm looking for ideas on snacks that are quick to eat, easy to pack, healthy, appealing to picky...

Here is a thread I posted a while back to give you some background on the "Link Removed" forum...

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 DD does not like to eat a large meal prior to her workout. I try to give her protein heavy meals but she can't get thru her 3 hr workout without becoming tired and weak. Do you have any small healthy meal ideas that seen to last your DD's thru a long workout?
So-the thread about family dinners got me thinking. My DD is 10 and a level 5, trains m 5-9, t 5-9, th 5-8:30, f 4-8 and sat 1-5. It's not so bad on Fridays-I can feed her a snack before she goes and she can eat afterwards and Saturdays are easy because she eats lunch then is ready for dinner...
I've recently started trying to eat really healthy. I started making fruit smoothies with kale and chia seeds in them for breakfast or for a snack and I eat a lot of Greek yogurt. Does anyone have any ideas or recipes for healthy eating? I'm getting tired of the few things I have found to be...
I'm training for 7/8 right now, and I don't think what i really eat now is keeping me fueled efficiently or healthy. Are there any good diets that will help me feel good and get all nessesary nutrition? Thank you!
Just wondering if there is a certain brand/recipe of sport drinks that is healthier than your average athlete-targeted Kool-Aid *rolls eyes*
I become dizzy easily & I hate drinking water during practice, so the extra salt/sugur would keep me from getting dizzy (I find gaterade helps with this...
My gymnast is always hungry. We always used to suggest fruit whenever she was hungry. However, due to food intolerances and allergies, on the advice of our doctor, we are now limiting her to one piece of fruit every two hours.
There's heaps of things she can't eat, such as all dairy (including...
