minkymom Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My 13 year old is doing surprisingly well on our family Whole 30 ... ok, so it IS only day 4... but really, minimal complaints ... EXCEPT, I don't know what to give her right after school when she's ravenous and I'm not ready to serve dinner yet. To complicate matters more, three days per week she has swim team practice at 4:15. I don't want her going in with an empty tank. Suggestions???? Thanks in advance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee Lee Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Is she home before swim? Or do your go straight from school? Grilled meat, like chicken thighs and steak is really easy to munch on and dip in guacamole. Getting carbs in her just after swim is really important too.

minkymom Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thank you Renee! We have an hour between school and swim on those days and it's not long enough to go home so I try to take her some food... then swim is over at 5:30.... just in time for 6pm dinner. Do you think I still need to give her something right after swimming or can she wait to get home and have proper dinner? Also after swim ideas? banana? apple? what's whole 30 compliant?

Renee Lee Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think it depends on her, how hungry she is and what's going to work for her. In general, our pre workout recommendations are just enough protein and fat to get the body ready for working, without being uncomfortable. Munching on some chicken and guac would satisfy that, and shouldn't be too heavy that hopping in a pool and hour later would be a problem. BUT, if she eats lunch at noon, and is really hungry when you pick her up, she may need something more substantial, which may be a problem. In that case, can you send her to school with a "second lunch" to have before school gets out/before you pick her up? Check in with her to see what she'd be more comfortable with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Christensen Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Egg muffins? My kiddos love egg muffins at all times a day, not just breakfast, I load them up with meat, kale, caramelized onions and eggs. They'd be easy to grab, protein and fat, and veggies in one easy to grab package. I agree with the notion of it being extra late, that a second meal going with her could be helpful.
