Eat for Goals!


13 players
The world of football has long inspired people of any age and gender to exercise. It has now set out to inspire them to eat well too.
Eat for Goals is about good food, cooking and football. Its aim is to encourage children to lead more active lifestyles and to eat well.
"A healthy lifestyle is also based on healthy food".  This message is conveyed by role models, a multicultural group of 13 internationally known male and female football players, who present their food choices.


13 dishes
Each player shares with the readers what he or she loves to eat and gives the recipe for his or her favourite dish. Children are invited to cook and eat like champions. A detailed list of the ingredients and step-by-step instructions for preparing each of the 13 dishes makes it easy for even the less-experienced to make delicious, healthy meals in no time at all. Enjoy!
And for those who want to know more about the relationship between a balanced, healthy diet and performance, which is crucial to footballers, the book also gives the nutritional values per portion as well as plenty of useful food tips.

Children are increasingly adopting unhealthy lifestyles. Chronic disease (heart disease, stroke, diabetes) along with their major causes (obesity, poor diets, smoking and physical inactivity) are now being seen at an alarmingly early age.

The factors for obesity are many and include overconsumption of food too rich in calories, proteins, fat and carbohydrates as well as sugar.Through the active support of the Eat for Goals book, UEFA, the World Heart Federation and the European Commission wish to raise awareness of one of the major public health issues of the 21st century.
