Two kids, soccer and cross country, and problems keeping them fed enough during the fall athletic season.This book helps to identify the best bang-for-the-buck nutritious foods to keep them energized and performing.It details optimum schedules for the pregame/practice as well as post game/practice meals, snacks and hydration.The recipes are contrary to the typical American diet, and so what else is new?Now that they know what complex and simple carbs are and how they affect their levels of energy, at least they know the ice cream for post practice/game recovery isn't the best alternative.At least they are giving the bean dishes a try because they know that they are one of the best nutrient dense foods.The recipes are surprisingly good and I'm going to try more on my kids and expand their horizons.A good book to use when you are trying to get 3000 calories/day into your children. The school lunch probably isn't going to cut it on game or meet days.
