Fall athletics are starting back up, and that means some hungry student-athletes.

Sports Dietitian Nutritionist Alex Larson doesn’t typically work with young athletes, but good nutrition gives everyone a boost in performance.

She shared three tips to keep tweens and teens fueled:

• Start the day with a breakfast: If kids are rushed in the morning and don’t like to sit and eat a meal, Larson suggests prepping things like fruit and yogurt smoothies, or egg wraps.
• Stock up on easy, travel-friendly, carb-rich snacks: She brings cereal, fruit snacks, Powerade, and even things like Goldfish or Belvita bars to make it easy.
• Work with your child where they’re at: Larson says it’s important to consult kids and teens about what they’ll actually eat and when they get hungry during the day.
