Hockey Game Snack Nutrition Kids Sports Buy

So you won't go hungry if you're traveling to a game, stash 1,000 calories of tried-and-true food in your bag. (Never try new foods before an important event.) You might even pack extra snacks for underfed teammates. On game day you can add perishable items such as yogurt, bagels, apples or other fresh fruit, or even a sandwich or two. Some possibilities:

* Granola bars or energy bars (about 200 calories each)
* Trail mix (about 200 calories per 1/2 cup)
* Toaster pastries (about 200 calories each)
* Dried fruit (150 calories per 1.5-ounce box of raisins)
* Animal crackers (about 140 calories per 12 pieces)
* Juice boxes (100 to 150 calories per 8 ounces)

Candy Research suggests that candy doesn't hurt most people's sports performance. In one study, reported in the March 1987 Journal of Applied Physiology, athletes who ate a big breakfast 4 hours before and a candy bar 5 minutes before hard exercise improved 20% during the exercise test compared with when they ate nothing. The results of the study also suggest that just candy and no breakfast before exercise improved performance 10% in comparison with eating nothing. Snickers Bars are a good choice.

Some people are sensitive to pre-exercise sugar, however, and have a rebound blood-sugar low that makes them feel weak. Hence, the safest bet is to eat the candy within 5 to 10 minutes of starting activity. This span is too short for the body to respond. (Or, eat the candy more than 45 minutes before exercise to allow insulin levels to drop.)

Candy is better than nothing, but it's not premium fuel. It's better to eat a more wholesome snack like cereal, a banana or apple, yogurt, or pretzels and juice. The urge for a quick energy fix is a sign you've eaten too little food earlier in the day. To prevent cravings, eat a hearty breakfast and lunch.
