Make eating your priority – eat small regular meals and snacks based on carbohydrate foods; ideally bread, rice, pasta, cereals and potatoes
Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables daily
Eat a wide variety of foods
Eat regularly – try to eat within 5 hours of the previous meal / snack
Always eat breakfast to boost blood sugar – cereals, toast and juice are ideal, make sure to consume protein in the morning to keep your blood sugar levels stable for a longer period
Eat as soon after teaching and working out as practically possible to start the refueling of muscle glycogen
Eat a high-carbohydrate, low fat snack after your evening teaching session.
Drink steadily and consistently before, during and after your workout to ensure full rehydration
Carry drinks and snacks in your car / sports bag ready for when you really need to eat them – don’t get caught out and end up in the nearest garage, take-away, or corner shop!
Make time to eat, plan meals and snacks in advance and shop accordingly.
