    Parents Nutrition guidance

    My gymmie is 10yo, 51", and 57# and solid muscle. Probably a lot like yours. Mine eats like a bird. Well, a happy morning bird who likes two bowls of cereal or whole grain pancakes or whole grain egg-infused french toast but then barely pecks at anything much of the rest of the day...

    The dumbest nutrition study

    Fast food vs. supplements: Link Removed All this proves is that supplements are processed junk as is fast food. Sure each one gives, carbs, fat and protein but wouldn't real food be an even better choice? Have we completely lost touch with how to create food that nourishes our body?

    Coaches / Judges Hospitality Room Food

    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...

    WAG Nutritional Plan for High-Level Gymnastics

    Hello all, As time goes on and college gymnastics has become more of a tangible goal for me, I have begun to become more conscious about the importance of my nutrition and how it can affect my gymnastics.

    WAG Nutrition and gymnastics

    I was talking with a friend whose daughter does swimming. She was telling me that her coach is very serious about the girls getting optimal nutrition and outlines for the parents ideal foods for pre and post workout.

    WAG Healthy food suggestions

    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...

    Breakfast food ideas?

    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...

    Confused About Diet

    I have always encourage my DD to eat a high protein snack before her practice. I've told her that it will keep her full longer and will give her longer lasting energy than other foods. However, another gym mom told me that this actually is not correct. She told me that a high protein diet...
