Good dessert style snacks for a rugby player for the period between dinner and bed🏉🍦
People immediately think ‘unhealthy’ when you mention the word dessert
However for rugby athletes with very high energy expenditure, they often make up part of a balanced diet
I often recommend dessert style snacks to the following rugby players, particularly when they have dinner earlier👇🏼
1. Rugby players with high energy expenditure (3500 cals +)
2. Rugby players who struggle to have time to snack throughout the day due to work commitments/no breaks at work
3. Rugby players who like something sweet after dinner
4. Rugby players who are trying to gain weight
5. Rugby players who have dinner around 5:30-6:00 pm and then don’t go to bed until 10-11 pm
6. Rugby players who train twice in a day and high struggle to meet their energy needs from main meals
