eating

Hi everyone, I'm currently in my final year of a nutrition degree and am choosing to do my final project on eating behaviours in male athletes. After looking at scientific research I noticed there is not much information about eating behaviours in males and how this may affect their...

Hi! A while back, I posted about my transition from gymnastics to diving/wrestling. I ended up sticking with diving and volleyball, and it is going really well. Anyway, I am a 14-year-old girl who has struggled with a restrictive eating disorder (not officially diagnosed, but recognized by...

For one of our upcoming meets, DD has a session time of 5:45. So we will be arriving at the meet at 5 to register and do a bathroom break. This is our first evening session start time and I know she won’t be done until at least 8:00 so my question is, how do you handle dinner? Is it best to do...

I need some help with suggestions on food or drink options for my 10yo. She has never been a big eater, but being at gym she needs to eat! She is definitely not getting enough protein and she is going to gym in the morning without eating anything. She says she isn't hungry. She is usually fine...

Hi all, I'm hoping the BTDT parents can help me out here! My DS will be starting Grade 1 next week, and it'll be his first time in full day school (Kindergarten is only 1/2 days in these parts!). He'll be in school until 2:30, and then will be training from 4-7 on M and W nights (and Sunday...

Our girls are use to working 3 hrs in the gym with quick water breaks in between. In the summer we do 4hrs. What is your schedule and do your coaches give quick breaks or one big break for hydration and snack.

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...

Now that school has started, DS (age 9) gets home from practice around 9:15. When he gets home, he is always hungry (which I understand) but I hate to feed him and then send him to bed. Any nutritionists out there that can suggest what's best to eat in this scenario. He's fairly picky and...

So I am starting to notice some problems with my DD when it comes to what and how she eats before practice. She eats lunch at school (home lunch) around 12. Then she eats around 3:30 and practice starts at 4:30. I TRY to make sure she eats a good meal at 3:30, like some pasta and salad, or...

I am a 17 year old level 8/9 gymnast, training 16+ hours a week. How can I eat for optimal performance, both for/at practice (my main concern) and competition. Typical day is get up at 7, eat breakfast, go to school, snack at 10:15, lunch at 11:30, snack at 1ish, drive to gym around 2:30 and...

I am a new Gym mum, as in my child started gym at the beginning of term 2 this year. She currently does 9.5hrs a week training. We just received notification that she is progressing to a higher level and her new hours will be 18hrs. She finishes school at 315pm and has to be at gym from...

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...

Hello everyone. I'm turning 15 next month and I am 125 lbs. 5.5. I am level 10 gymnast. Train 6 days a week and 4 hours a week. My muscle:weight ratio is not quite equal. Besides conditioning I want to eat LESS but healthier. And for a month, due to injuries I will not be training at all and I...

i know theres no way to actually KNOW the exact percentage, but i was wondering...how many of you have, or have had, fellow teammates/coaches/siblings/children who are gymnasts, that have had an eating disorder? i feel like it is so much more prevalent than people think, and that a lot of people...

Hey! I am currently a level 9 gymnast and think i may have a problem with food haha. Idk but at certain bursts i just get these cravings where i full out eat till i'm sick. After this takes place i feel super guilty. I want to lose some weight and get more toned so i try not to eat so much and...

Do your kids eat a lot? Frequently or large amounts? If you have a more sedentary sibling or siblings, do they eat less? It's only October and I'm feeling burned out on the frequent feeding and dishes. Actually since the kids are not on any seasonal physical activity schedules except for...

My kid is like, totally, not a morning person. Right off the bat, that's a problem with meets that require him to be at the gym at 7am. Last weekend he had to get up at 5am to get to the meet gym by 7:15. (Kinda sucked for Dad, too. :p) Add to that the fact that he really has no appetite in...

sadly we all hear cases of eating disorders conected with gym, for example Christy Henrich. i just wanted to get people veiws on wether you think it is a big problem or not. i myself was a state/natinol gymnast and saw eating disorders in very small amounts, skipping meals here and there or...
