runners in track

Submitted by runnermom on Tue, 03/23/2010 - 11:21.

My daughters are in multiple events. They run distance/middle distance.  They like to have water and an apple  in between. They  do not drink sports drinks  and they say they feel better for it.

anyone have ideas ? I  have a fourteen year old who has always been active,but thin.  She has annual check-ups with her doctor. She is  healthy. She only weighs about85lbs  is 5ft 3.  I am very conscience of her diet. We eat right; fruits, veggies,nuts, meat(about four to five times a week).  Not alot of sugar, occasionally a gummy bear. She does not loose weight ,but she is always hungry. She can eat as much as any teenage boy.  Should I worry or just keep the fruits and nuts handy?

Activity level?

Hi Nicole,

You mention that your daughter is active. How active is she? She may need more calories to fuel her sports. Many parents with concerns like yours send their child to school with 2-3 apples or bananas which do a great job of helping kids feel full
