My son has soccer practices and games during the dinner hour. What can I feed him so that he has energy but doesn feel weighed down with food?
After school, encourage your son to drink plenty of water and eat a carbohydrate snack such as a granola bar, a bagel, a piece of fresh fruit, pretzels, whole grain crackers, or a bowl of cereal. During the soccer game or practice, make sure that he is staying hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Afterwards, head home and have a well-balanced meal that includes foods from each of the four food groups in Eating Well with Canada’s Food Guide.
