Something is better than nothing!
Hi all, after messaging Craig yesterday of my sons ‘bump in the road’ with his fuelling at the moment, he mentioned it may be beneficial to post here for some other parents that are struggling with their kids wanting to eat or not eating enough on game day.
13 yo boy who’s never love eating meals, prefers snacks and has always struggled eating prior to games.
Even this weekend he didn’t want to snack his usual foods or eat his usual breakfast.
So a quick change of plans and this is what we came up for his fuelling -
Very small smoothie- base was choc milk as he hates full cream, added a little oats, a bit of banana and a bit of Nutella to hide the oats and banana taste 😆
2 pieces of toast (he ate some) with berries on the side.
Car ride to game - store bought pikelets
Pretzels & grapes.
He had a juice popper just before getting out of car and gave him a few snakes to eat before his game.
He had an up and go after the game with a bbq lamb wrap they sold at the field ✔️
Is it a ‘picture perfect’ breakfast? - No, did he get some carbs in before going out on field - yes!
Sometimes it’s something better than nothing. So don’t be afraid to give them whatever it takes on the odd occasion they refuse everything else!
