Summary
Feeding a growing athlete — through various ages and stages — can be overwhelming. From managing appetite changes to feelings about body image to teaching (and re/learning!) a balanced way of eating for performance and growth. We asked Jessica Isaacs, @jessicathesportsrd, to give us practical guidance on how to feed kid, tween, and teen athletes to fuel them and foster a healthy relationship with food.
