Heading to Costco this weekend to stock up for the week? If you've got a high school or university student at home (make that two at our house!), you know that we always must have a lot of healthy food prepped in our fridge and pantry!
With the high training and conditioning demands of their sport, having to consume 2500-3500 calories per day😱 can make it difficult for us parents to always find the time to make everything from scratch (especially when we are trying to sleep enough 💤, work, and keep up with our exercise🏋️too!)
Here are some Costco finds that are an easy quick snack or meal when needed:
--> Snacks with high carbs and low fats are great for long training sessions, like fruit bars, Medijool dates, or apple sauce!🍎
--> High calorie snacks and bars that contain all macros (protein, carbs, and fats) are great to prevent reaching for something unhealthy when you're hungry and need to keep fueling throughout the day! Naan with guac🥑, protein bars, granola bars, fig bars, multi grain crackers with hummus, chicken skewers with naan, Aussie bites, are a few ideas!
Need help with nutrition for your student athlete? I love working with teenagers and young adults to teach them how to fuel optimally for their sport using an InBody analysis and then setting customized macro-based goals based on the results.
