A healthy diet can help the young sports stars of tomorrow fulfil their potential. Around 85% of children regularly take part in sports activities outside lessons. Swimming is the most common activity for girls, with football for boys. 43% of children spend between 1-5 hours per week doing sport outside lessons (Sport England). But as any parent or coach knows, it’s hard to get the right balance, especially if you’re running between school and training sessions. Children don’t always eat, or want to eat, the very foods that will help them compete at the highest level – the snacks and meals that will give them energy, help them keep going through a long training session, or recover afterwards.
