Healthy Lifestyles

Healthy Eating

Diet & Healthy Lifestyle should be high on anyone’s agenda but for a Wakefield Wildcats player, it’s all part and parcel of the daily routine.

Training Diet

The training diet of a Wakefield Wildcat player should be;

  • High in energy. 
  • Eat 3 meals and regular snacks everyday.
  • High in carbohydrate rich foods eg. breakfast cereal, bread, muffins, muesli bars, rice, pasta, potato, fruit, smoothies. These should form the basis for most meals and snacks.

Moderate in protein rich foods eg.meat, chicken, fish, dairy products. You don't need a lot of protein to "bulk up". The amount of energy you eat is more important.

Low in fat. Avoid too much margarine, fatty meats, high fat takeaway and snacks, fried food and creamy sauces.
Include fruit & veg. These are needed for preventing illness, building muscle and repairing injury.
Minimal alcohol. Alcohol can lead to poor recovery, slow repair of injury and contribute to excess weight.

Sample Meal Plan For Training

  • Breakfast: Large bowl of cereal (with chopped banana) & Large fruit juice
  • Snack: Sandwich (cheese and salad) & Sports drink
  • Lunch: 2 ham, cheese and tomato rolls & Flavoured milk
  • Snack: Muesli bar & Water or cordial
  • Dinner: Beef and vegetable stir fry with rice & Cordial
  • Snack: Canned fruit and yoghurt & Glass of milk
  • Extra: Sports drink at training
  • Comments: This is suitable for a player training once a day

Fluid Needs

Wakefield Wildcat players can lose several Litres of fluid during a game especially during the summer months. Dehydration will lead to poor concentration and coordination. Heat stroke is dangerous and can lead to death. It can be hard to drink enough fluid to make up for what is lost in sweat during training and competition.

Drink 250-500mls with every meal and snack – don't save up until training. Aim to drink more than your thirst tells you to. Check your weight before and after training or competition (1 Kg lost = 1.5 Litres to replace)

Good fluid choices – sports drink, water, fruit juice, cordial and milk. Sports drink has the added benefit of containing sodium (salt) that helps your body to retain the fluid.

Poorer fluid choices- alcohol, cola drinks, tea, coffee and energy drinks. These are diuretics and will increase fluid loss in your urine. Soft drinks are gassy and filling making it difficult to drink enough.
