Subject: RE: EARLY risers nutrition input
If I am in town I go to the gym at 6 a.m. after rising at 4:45. I will do my usual breakfast of sauteed vegetables and two eggs. In the sautee mix is usually a chicken sausage. I find that I do better if I have eaten something versus not. I always have coffee. My workout consists of :45 min of exercise and weights, followed to :30 to :45 of cardio on the bike and / or treadmill. For me, eating something that is low carb (just the carbs present in the vegetables) but containing fat in the form of olive oil or maybe some avocado is good fuel and has been effective to set the furnace for fat burn: 35 lbs in about six months while adding muscle mass.

Your results may vary.

    Although I don't have trouble drinking any of the smoothies I make, I do at times add a few "sweeteners" to make them a bit easier to "gag down". Kiwi, apples, blueberries, cherries, and bananas are all great (and highly nutritious) foods that add consistency and improve taste.

    I agree with smoom about OJ. In fact, I hardly drink juice unless I make it, and making it is just hard work (not to mention, expensive).

    I like the idea of keeping muscle milk (or other protein drink) readily available. During a build for an event, I normally double up workouts (morning and lunch) and don't always have access to a good recovery drink for the second workout.

    During this past weekend's Olympic distance triathlon, lack of fuel and dehydration hurt me during the run. I feel a little lost with knowing what, when and how much to consume.

    Use this guide as a tool to perfect your nutrition during all three disciplines in a triathlon. Because not everyone requires the same quantity of macronutrients, be sure to practice your plan.

    With the coming of the New Year, athletes commonly think about making nutrition resolutions. Good thing, given only 3 to 4% of Americans follow all of the established Dietary Guidelines.

    I have been able to swim 200-300 yards without stopping for the past couple of weeks, but this morning I couldn’t swim more than 50. Could not eating make a big differance?
