    Off Topic Healthy snacks

    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...

    Parents Protein rich meals and snacks

    DD has been complaining about feeling tired at practice lately. She's very muscular and, in reviewing her diet, I realized she's probably not getting anywhere near enough protein. Guessing it might be the same for my son. I've bumped up DD's protein in the last few days and she feels like it's...

    Parents Looking for quick, easy to pack, healthy, non-messy snacks for energy during gymnastics practice

    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...

    Quick snacks

    Dd trains elite track. One of her favourite pre- training snacks is a banana and a handful of mixed nuts; quick, easy and sustains her for a fairly intensive 4 hour session:)

    MAG snacks during practice?

    We started our fall schedule this week, and my son (6yo) has been an absolute beast after practice. It's the timing more than the length of the practice, I think. He's there 4:00-7:00, and we usually eat dinner around 6:00-6:30. By the time we got home last night, he was in full on meltdown...

    WAG snacks that provide a quick boost in energy

    For the last couple of weeks DD has been struggling toward the end of practice with her energy level. Her practices are 4 hours long and she has a snack before practice. Snack is usually Greek yogurt or cheese or nuts or dried cereal and then some sort fruit. I have suggested a quick bit of...

    WAG Break snacks

    I train a lot of hours a week and on Wednesday we train from 3:30-8:30 and we get a 15 min break. I usually eat things that sweet things which doesn't make much difference because 30mins later I'm hungry again. I was wondering if anyone has any good snacks, like protein bars etc. I live in...

    Parents healthy, filling snacks

    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...

    After practice snacks

    Usually when I get home from my one hour (rec) class, I'm really hungry. So I pig out on junk food, like donuts, or candy bars, without realizing. Then I regret It later, thanks to sugar crashes and not feeling so hot the next day. Keep in mind my class is 6-7 PM. So I was wondering if you could...

    WAG Snacks...

    I am the driver for three team gymnasts. One of them being mine. I am coming to a point where I don't know what to pack for snack on the way to the gym. They eat about 10:30 or so so by the time they get out at 3 o'clock they are hungry. They go straight to the gym. They don't have a lot of time...

Lunch is optional for two days- one field trip they are going to a trampoline park and doing a pizza lunch, the other to the beach and doing a lunch...

    Funniest Inappropriate Snacks in Gym Bag

    I was wondering what kind of bad snacks people have had in their gym bag at meets. DD's coach always reminds them to have something to drink and a healthy snack. Last year at one of the meets, DD's teammate, who was a 14 year old level 9 had a large bag of chips, 2 almond joy candy bars and a...

    School Snacks

    My son is 9, and is a level 5/6 gymnast. Right now he works out between 10-12 1/2 hours a week. School started this week, and in K-2, he had 2 snacks a day and lunch. He gets to school at 7:50 and leaves at 3:40, goes straight to gym from 4-6:30 and then home. Usually he would eat breakfast...

    Parents Snacks before practice?

    Hi everyone! So my DD is 6 yrs old and just starting on the L3 team. She will train for 3 hours 1 day a week for team. I was curious to see what snacks ya'll recommend for your kiddos before practice. Or do you not recommend snacks? Personally, I don't do well with eating right before a work-out...

    A question about appropriate snacks for the gym....

    So yesterday one of the owners of our gym was calling everyone to discuss that since the summer schedule started and the girls are working out for 4 hours they are letting them have a snack break. This schedule started Monday and I had hoped they would allow them to have a snack so I sent some...

    Snacks and practice

    I am not talking a general nutrition but rather what your gymnast eats prior to practice and/or during. We have a mom (dd is 12) who is having major issues with our gyms 'snack policy'. The policy is that there is no set snack time provided for any level and that no food may be brought out...

    Pre-Practice snacks?

    I can't eat really heavy before a practice or a meet, because I get nauseated easily, but I run out of energy quickly without food, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of pre-practice/meet snacks that are light and help you have more energy?
