you will get lots of responses and a lot depends on how many calories your son eats in a given day.
One hour prior to game my son eats a peanut butter and honey sandwich(should be on wheat bread but he wont eat wheat bread)That would count for 2 breads,3 fats and 2 carbs with honey.
he drinks 8 oz of gatorade with 4 oz of water and one scoop whey protein right before game or any training day..
dinner: can be a whole lot of things, tonight we are having spaghetti with meat sauce, he has a game tomorrow so like carbs and proteins night before.
alway have a snack before bedtime. My son has a good protein shake with lots of fruit, yogurt etc. , or many nights he has a 16 oz glass of milk, a cup of peanuts and a banana. nutrition is vital for good performance.
Typical lunch: 2 peanut and butter and jelly or honey sandwhiches,(sometimes he gets a chicken cesear salad at school)and that replaces one sandwich. Two granola bars, 1 cup of nuts,fruit,pretzels or some type of chips.
this is right off of a nutritionist diet sheet.
well balanced diet is key to good game performance, and staying healthy.(also good multivitamin and essential fatty acids).

Wow excellent reply, i think im gonna switch to this.
sounds like a celebrity diet.
To me actually my son is pretty darn special.Celebrity not yet. but maybe someday.
The lady asked and I told her what we have been doing working with a nutritionist.
Hopefully its helpful.

The reason i think i may switch is because school is a super big hassle in the food department. As a junior i have off campus privleges but there is no where but McD's and Carls Jr. And that is the last thing that i want to eat, i hate that stuff. Usually i take chicken and white rice with some soy sauce, its good. But i need a change. PB and J on wheat with some extras is definently the fix.
Make sure PB is natural and honey is organic, or it's not healthy at all.
Fanofthegame, thanks a lot for the response I think I'll try that.
p.s.
I know my name is misleading but PatC was already taken, I am a junior baseball player in High School. Anyways thanks a lot for the response

The reason I ask this question is because I have the same problem as akfirstbasebmen. I was just wondering what would be an easy and nutritional meal to bring to school so I can stay away from the not-so-healthy lunch choices at my school.
You could always eat salad at school too. Or deli sandwiches?
I would hope you guys would have that kind of stuff..?

Believe it or not Bulldog 19, the school district i am in this last year switched tot he nutritional food. Every single bit of it is packaged and tastes like ****, and i question the true nutritional value of it because it is packaged. The reason i dont eat it is mainly the taste, but the other reason is that the salad i had at the beginning of the year gave me a really bad headache. So no mos.
The good news is that i usually have a bowl of wheaties for lunch haha i can keep it all in the teachers lounge because im a Teachers Aid for my class right before lunch. Before i said that i have off campus lunch but all there is is McD's and CJ's, i DONT eat that ****.

breakfast:
Honey Bunches of Oats Cerial+Banana.Juice
or
Oatmeal and Banana
Lunch:
I bring my lunch to avoid cafeteria food.Usually a turkey sandwhich(with lettuce,mustard,tomato,slice of pepperjack sometimes) with yogurt,banana or apple,and wheat thins or sun chips
Dinner:
usually whatever my mother makes.Example is something like a chicken breast,rice,steamed veggies or steak,green beans,and salad
It works for me

thanks.I do on weekends,but its hard to be snacking on food during classes at school.Its easier to me to focus on a good diet during the summer where all I do is work and baseball/workouts
FutureCatcher, you should add a little more protein to your diet in the morning. Other than that, looks good
I know I should.Any quick fixes to that?I dont have much time in the morning,so i stick to easy stuff like oatmeal,cereal,fruits,etc
Eggs...scrambled eggs take 5 min. Make 2 eggs and 2 egg whites. That's only 160 calories but majority protein. Protein shakes, if you are comfortable drinking them. A cup of almonds is always a good source.
Ive got a George foreman Gril and I love that thing. I grill those purdue indvidual skinless white meat chicken breast and Pork chops all the time. i eat tons of chicken, Tuna, peanut butter, Whey portein mix, Brown rice, oatmeal. I never drink gatorade,so much sugar. Tons and tons of water and lots of milk.
Foreman grill got me through college and allowed to gain 40 pounds of muscle while I was there. I was cooking 4-5 meals per day on that thing!
I believe that you should also never change your dieting habits on game days as well. Stick with an easy protein-rich diet plan. Cut out all sweets, fats, oils, etc. if one of your goals is to lose some fat. The correct way to lose lbs, if you want, is approximately 2 lbs. per week. Anything more is considered unhealthy.
Breakfast: bowl of rice krispies, glass of orange juice and 2 pieces of bacon (bacon should prob be left out)
Lunch: peanut butter and jel sandwhich or chicken sandwhich, sunchips, nutrigrain bar or chocolate chip peanut butter chewy, bottle of water.
Dinner- whatever my dad makes.. either spaghetti, or chicken.. alot of chicken... etc. with milk and banana...
Is diet coke really worse than regular coke?? (i dont drink them just wondering)
what of my diet should i change.. i mean tel lme anything i i will do it.. off season is coming soon so i need a FULL nutrition plan..
