Hello everyone sorry for the delay in getting this next article out to you. Been busy opening Fusion Fitness Gym as I’m sure everyone has heard.
So what are good food choices? What should a junior athlete or any child be eating to stay strong and healthy? Below are some examples of healthy options that every child should be aware of so as to start making healthy choices with food.
-Good Healthy Fat Examples
1. Almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts and macadamias.
2. Natural peanut butter and peanuts.
Stay away from butter, regular ice cream, and whole milk, or at least limit to only a few times a week.
-Good Protein
1. Most any fish and seafood are great options. There are numerous types of fish including many shellfish.
2. Chicken and turkey breast are the favourable meats of choice.
3. Other meats include fish filet and ground beef.
4. Black beans.
5. Egg whites and healthy low fat dairy.
Stay away from anything fried and regular fat ground beef, or at least limit to only a few times a week.
-Good Carbohydrates
- Rye and sourdough bread are great bread choices.
- Oatmeal is a good cereal choice for breakfast or any snack.
- Brown rice and any vegetables.
- Fruits will benefit you and promote a healthy diet.
Avoid cakes, cookies, doughnuts, sugary cereals, and potato chips. Most any items loaded with sugar as the primary carbohydrate need to be avoided, or eaten sparingly.
Stay tuned for more information on healthy eating for children.
