Whenever we have our Nutrition Seminars, we often find parents are quite shocked when we say to avoid certain fruits before games.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŠ

Fruit is fantastic and offers a range of benefits.

For performance however, there are some fruits we would recommend avoiding / replacing right before a race / competition day / meet. ๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

We know we want to avoid high fat and fibre right before a session. Consuming a large volume of fibre right before your session could lead to GI distress and visiting the loo ๐Ÿšฝ๐Ÿงป No-one wants that! ๐Ÿซฃ

So save the high fibre fruits for later on, and instead opt for low fibre, sugary fruits for pre-sessions. Bonus๐ŸŽฏ some of these are also aiding in hydration too !

๐Ÿ‡Grapes
๐Ÿ‰Watermelon
๐ŸŠOranges / Mandarins
๐ŸŒBananas
๐ŸฅญMango

โœจDried fruits like sultanas, dates, dried mango, dried apricots also great primers!!

**everyone is individual and will have differing tolerances, so it is best to try out different things and see what works best for you. Do not try anything new on competition day (always trial in training / off season)

Donโ€™t make your hard sessions harder !!!
๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

If you have pre-exisiting issues like IBS, lactose intolerance, reflux you may be more suseptible to experiencing gut issues during hard sessions . ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

What NOT to consume before a hard session! โŒ

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ High Fibre food, these take longer to digest, can cause discomfort and aid in bowel issues

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ Foods high in Fat, these take longer to digest and can cause discomfort

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ Foods high in dairy (normally high in fat too)

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ Spicy food

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ Carbonated drinks, your swallowing more air, more air in the tummy , more chances of bloating and discomfort.

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ Large doses of caffeineโ€ฆ youโ€™ll be running in another wayโ€ฆ if you have too many coffees ! ๐Ÿคฃ

What to consume instead โœ…๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

โœ”๏ธ A regular breakfast, rich in carbohydrates 3-4 hours before your hard session

โœ”๏ธ 2-3hrs before, fast digesting simple carbohydrates โšก๏ธ minimal fat/fibre/protein

โœ”๏ธ 30-60mins prior
Simple carbohydrates only. โšก๏ธ no fat, fibre or protien

โœ”๏ธ Post hard session
It may be hard to want to eat anything so liquids like milks, can be great, as hydrating, protein and carbs!

โœ”๏ธPost main meal.
REFUEL, REPAIR, REHYDRATE !
Have a Balanced meal rich in carbs, protein, fibre and fat + hydrate hydrate hydrate !

Save the fibrous and protein , fat, dense , spicy meals for AFTER hard sessions ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜œ

Week 1 of school and youโ€™re already facing decision fatigue about what is going in to next weeks lunch box ! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Have a few more ideas ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

โœ… Oat bars / Museli Bars
โœ… Fruit and snack balls / protein balls
โœ… Wraps / Sandwiches / rolls
โœ… Hummus pots with vege sticks and crackers
โœ… Wholemeal/grain bickies.

Our complex carbohydrates provide long lasting energy.
Our lunchboxes are a mixture of simple carbohydrate and complex carbohydrates ( school sport, recess/lunch play)
Protein, fat and fibre โ›ฝ๏ธโšก๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Post session fuel will look different for everyone.

Directly after a hard session we want to replenish glycogen stores (energy) and kick start recovery (carbs and protein) ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผโ›ฝ๏ธโšก๏ธ we utilise simple carbohydrates and protein here โœ”๏ธ

A few hours later our main meal should consist of all the elements (fat, fibre, protein and carbs)
There is a switch back to complex carbs here for sustained energy. โœ”๏ธ

*if you are heading straight from practice to home for dinner you donโ€™t always need the fuel, this is circumstantial and individual dependent (if this fills you up too much for dinner, have dinner and snack after) otherwise if needed go for both!
Everything is individual - need help with your performance nutrition ?? book in a consult with us

If youโ€™re looking for protein pancakes, youโ€™re probably better off adding in protein powder to your mix.
Or adding in some soy protein crisps, high protein yoghurts, yoghurts , higher protein flours, cottage cheese etc ! โœ…โœ”๏ธ๐Ÿฅž

For the cost difference per 100g serve and only really 3G more protein, there are other more feasible, higher protein options you can have to bump up protein.

Pancakes make a great pre workout snack as they are high GI , simple carbohydrate. ๐Ÿฅž if your using pancakes or pikelets as a pre session snack, donโ€™t worry about protein! (We want low/no protein, fibre and fats).

Marketing catches our eye, but itโ€™s important to check the labels to see how much difference there actually is ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ†

New product.

Each product has its own place within performance nutrition.

Some will be great pre workout fuel, some lunch box fillers.

Take a look through when we would recommend each.

* pre-workout fuel we want to aim for minimal fat and fibre. Some bars used for pre workout fuel have some fats included and for most this is tolerated well. However nutrition is individual, and what works for some may not work for others.

When trialling new fuel it is important to do so in a training / off season setting NOT in competition.
