LO: To use knowledge of diet and nutrition to 
     devise a food plan for an athlete.
  What can remember about nutrients from the 
        last science lesson?
        Carbohydrates
  • Provide energy and aid healthy digestion
  • Eating carbohydrate at night can hinder 
   muscle repair. Also, because you are sleeping, 
   your body will not use as much energy so 
   carbohydrate will then be stored as fat and 
   not muscle.
          Protein
  -Helps build muscle strength as well as maintain 
  and repair muscles.
  -Protein requires time to digest so space out 
  servings.
  -Protein can be eaten as part of a healthy snack 
  eg, boiled egg, cottage cheese, humus as well as 
  part of your main meal.
  -If training, it’s important to have protein on 
  your rest days too.
                                   Rugby Diet
      •   I eat four times a day.
      •   Breakfast is always two poached eggs, 
      grilled bacon, beans and some quality
       seeded bread.
      •   Then I'll drink a protein shake before my first training session of the 
          day.
      •   After that it's lunch, which is usually something like spaghetti 
          Bolognese with vegetables, or rice, potatoes and a meat option, 
          and then a second training session in the afternoon, which is 
          usually on the rugby pitch.
      •   I follow that with a late lunch in which the carbohydrate and protein 
          elements are equally shared.
      •   Then I have dinner in the evening with my wife, which consists of a 
          steak and salad.
