Athletes of every age require more fuel and calories so they can perform in their sport and maintain energy and muscle mass. But many parents approach me with the dilemma of trying to feed their young athlete who's a picky eater. There IS a way around this! Try the approach of serving family-style meals, to provide the solution you've been looking for! Sit-down meals together as a family are great several times a week such as the weekend. But family-style meals give the opportunity for your child or teen to have more autonomy. Having everything prepared and put out on the table allows everyone to pick and choose what THEY want, and how much. This puts the control into your child’s hands. It also cuts down on food waste! My video shows an example of a breakfast meal laid out on the table with multiple choices based on what you have available. I also discuss how they can balance their plate with carbohydrates, protein, and vegetables, depending on their activity level that day. Other tips for parents of picky eaters?: - Get your kids involved! Take them shopping with you, and get them involved in the cooking process, so they’re more invested and likely to eat the meals you’ve prepared. - Introduce new foods on a regular basis. Continually keep introducing new foods over and over. It can take a child 12 times or more of seeing a new food before they even try it. So keep at it!

If you’ve signed on for Rock N Roll San Diego or the SD100 or any other big spring time race, these next few weeks are where training gets juicy! You’re hitting those high running volume weeks, still grinding it out in the gym, really getting the machine that is YOU, ready for your big day! It’s also the time when you really should be nailing down your nutrition needs while out running; finding out what works best for your gut, how much to eat and the timeliness of when to eat. Ideally, you’re consuming 60-90g of carbs per hour that you’re out and about. It seems like a lot and it is if you’re not used to it. So these weeks are the time to start training your stomach to well, stomach that amount. I also hear runners complaining about how gels or hydration products give them GI issues during their long runs. There is a brand that will work for you! Whether it’s gluten free, vegan, or created with simply digested ingredients. Very few of us out there really have unique situations where your own home concoction is needed. The question I ask is what are you eating the night before your long run? Pizza & beer? Carne asada chips? Food too high in fiber? Simply too much quantity to digest in time? When digging a bit deeper on what’s being dug into on their dinner plate, oftentime you’ll find where the real culprit is. Instead of poo-pooing the gels, try switching up the pre-long run meal the night before and see if that fixes the bubble guts and need to booboo. Just like finding the right pair of shoes, it takes a bit of trial and error in finding that right brand and flavor of gel and that perfect meal that’ll fuel you the best so you can run your best. #kickpush #teamNuun #teamzoot #RADrabbit #runcoach #tricoach #ultracoach #fitnesscoach #honeystingerambassador #marathoncoach #marathontraining #endurancefitnessperformance #EFP #runnerscommunity #runnersofinstagram #runstrong #runningmotivation #teamzoot #ridc #runningfordiversity #EFPathlete #runrocknroll #sd100 #nutritionbfda

Undoubtedly, the healthiest foods do not appeal to the taste buds of many. What is squash called in your language? We call it Anyuru. I haven't seen it in a long time now. My mom used to cook it when I was younger. Although I never liked it, I'd eat it now, knowing its benefits. Do you enjoy squash, and are there other benefits you know about? #happymonday #healthandwellness #healthawareness #healthmotivation #healthwriting #contentwriting #linkedinforcreators

This is NOT a before-and-after post❤️🩹🤮🚫 But this *is* a post about consistency and commitment🤌🏻 (but really you just wanna know what I did, don't you? lol)🤣🤣🤣⁠ ⁠ Okay, let me put you out of your misery😩🔪⁠ ⁠ Here is a list of 5 things I DID do and 5 things I DIDN'T do to lose 9kg so far this year...⁠ ⁠ I DIDN'T...⁠ 🚫 Make (as many) excuses.⁠ 🚫 Have an emotional meltdown if the scale didn't move.⁠ 🚫 Tell other people not to bring junk food into the house (learning how to relate to food is *my* responsibility, not theirs)⁠ 🚫 Have "cheat days" lol⁠ 🚫 Try to get my eating perfect. That is a bull💩 dieting tactic that never, ever, eeeever works.⁠ ⁠ I DID...⁠ ✅ Show up every day regardless of how I felt.⁠ ✅ Join a gym and actually went lol.⁠ ✅ Follow my 5 Eating Codes (the free course is in my bio, sis)⁠ ✅ Only (okay, mostly only) ate when I was actually hungry. Not just because it's there.⁠ ✅ Get up between 5am and 6am (instead of 7am or 8am) to fit the changes I wanted to make into my day.⁠ ⁠ But that's not even the biggest part. The biggest part is that I did all of these things CONSISTENTLY.⁠ ⁠ Did I miss some days? Absolutely.⁠ Did I have to check myself and recalibrate? All the fkn time.⁠ But I never, ever stopped, made excuses or gave up.⁠ ⁠ And THAT'S the secret sauce!✨⁠ ILY🩷🧡🩷⁠ ⁠ P.S. Yes, I know there's a lot of side-b00b in my photo but I need the smaller bras to hold the girls in lol🩷🤣⁠ ⁠https://lnkd.in/gewfrqHq ⁠ #recovery #recoveryispossible #fitnessjourney #bingeeatingrecovery #bingeeating #onlinecoaching #onlinefitnesscoach #foodfreedom #allfoodsfit #nutritioncoach #nutritioncoaching #selflovejourney #commitment #goals

Happy Wednesday! Sharing an easy homemade running energy gel I recently was asked about in another group post. If any of my clients or running friends are interested. 🤔🏃🏼♂️… Just a simple recipe for a homemade energy gel for running a marathon: Ingredients: 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup (for quick energy) 1/4 cup of chia seeds (for sustained energy and hydration) 1/4 cup of water 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (for flavor and vitamin C) 👉🏼Instructions: In a bowl, mix together the honey or maple syrup, chia seeds, water, and lemon juice until well combined. Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens to a gel-like consistency. Transfer the gel into a small resealable pouch or gel flask for easy carrying during your marathon. This homemade energy gel provides a combination of quick and sustained energy from the honey/maple syrup and chia seeds, respectively, along with hydration from the chia seeds. Plus, the lemon juice adds a refreshing flavor. Adjust the sweetness and consistency to your liking by adding more or less honey/maple syrup and water. ⛔️Make sure to test it during your training runs to see how it works for you before using it during the marathon. Enjoy! . #marathontraining #energygel #homemade #recommendation #exercisemotivation #juststart #strengthandflexibility #befit #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #longevity #exerciseismedicine #purposefulmovement #foryourhealth #livehealthy #befit #rjhfitperspectivellc #certified #personaltrainer #nutritioncoach #runwalkcoach #nutritionstrengthmovement #doallthree #everyweek #htx #heightshouston (No content on this site, regardless of date, should ever be used as a substitute for direct medical advice from your doctor or other qualified clinician.)
