4) Nutrition Tip of the Week: Breakfast for Soccer Players
Alice Richer is the team nutritionist and consultant dietician for the Major League Soccer’s New England Revolution. She recommends that all soccer players should start their day on the right foot – with breakfast. Richer shares some of her favourite suggestions for players to consider eating for their first meal of the day…
Whole Grains: “Whole grains have various nutrients, including fiber, protein, B vitamins, as well as minerals like zinc and copper.” Adding almond milk to a whole grain cereal provides calcium, potassium, and vitamin C to the mix to start your day.
Fresh Fruit: “Getting a healthy dose of fruit each day is important for soccer players”, but Richer warns to not to overload on it: “Getting a lot of fruit is key, but don’t overdo it, because it’s still sugar,” Richer says. “It’s a healthy sugar, but it still adds up by the end of the day.” Richer recommends adding some banana, which has vitamin C, dietary fiber, and potassium, or strawberries, which also has potassium, fiber, vitamin C, as well as magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids.
Eggs: Eating eggs such as scrambled or a boiled egg on top of a whole grain English muffin. The eggs are packed with protein, and using a boiled egg will give you “good fats” like monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Scrambled eggs also provide vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, potassium, as well as B vitamins.
Nut Butter: Slapping on some natural peanut butter or almond butter is a good way to give your toast a boost: “The nut butters are great because they offer quite a bit of relatively healthy fat and fiber,” says Richer. Almond butter has unsaturated fat that can help with your blood cholesterol, while peanut butter has protein, potassium, as well as fiber, healthy fats, and vitamin E.
Yogurt: “Low-fat yogurt is always a good option, Richer says. “Make sure it’s Greek yogurt, because they have a little more protein and don’t add a ton of sugar like some of the traditional yogurts.”

Wishing you a great week in soccer.
