Pre-Training Nutrition
Performance Canteen
Meet Kate Shilland (MSc ANutr) and Fran Taylor (RNutr) of Performance Canteen, registered Sports and Public Health Nutritionists (AfN).
Learning Outcome:
Importance of food type and timing on training days. High-energy carb ideas. Optimal pre-training nutrition can be personal. Why cereals are great and when white bread is better!
Actionable Steps:
-
On training days, keep the “fuel gauge on green”.
-
Provide a breakfast and lunch that contain good carbs, protein, fats, and colour.
-
Provide a substantial healthy snack 2-3 hours before training plus a smaller snack 1 hour before training.
-
Provide fortified cereals, a great source of vitamins and minerals, essential for growing bodies.
-
Remember: Athletes respond differently to different foods, timings, etc. What works for one athlete might not for another. Find what works/doesn’t work.
-
Simpler carbs, eg. a white bread sandwich as opposed to one made from wholemeal bread, are best in the run-up to training commencing.
