Master 1591    San Diego, CA | Subject: RE: triathletes track calories? I do ... I'm fairly new to this triathlon thing and I was finding that I wasn't eating enough to sustain my training. I'm working with a sports nutritionist to make sure I eat the right combos of carb, protien and fat. So far it's going well, I have more energy and I'm eating what I'm supposed to . |

Master 2299  New York | Subject: RE: triathletes track calories? I meticulously track every calorie that goes into my body, inasmuch as possible. I would imagine that most people on this site (and in the sport) do as well, to some degree or another. |

i do. but i'm a figure competitor myself so it's the same mindset. but most triathletes i've met are equally neurotic about their nutrition, macros, timing. we've totally got a headstart on this game! Edited by meherczeg 2008-08-26 2:31 PM |

I have started to track my cals, but a little loosley, I am still trying to find a nice place to do so. One that will calc cals burned as well. |

Expert 1014 Virginia | Subject: RE: triathletes track calories? i track everything. i'm trying to lose weight so it's important to me to understand what goes in vs. what goes out. |

Master 1572 PA | Subject: RE: triathletes track calories? I track. But I track on the front end, meaning it's all planned out and I stick to it. I don't write down what I ate at the end of they day. I know exactly what my nutrients/caloric intake is ahead of time. |

| Regular 198 WI | Subject: RE: triathletes track calories? I usually eat a fairly healthy diet, but one of the things I like best about training for triathlons is that I can pretty much eat anything I want. I look at calories/nutrition data for foods, but that doesn't stop me from eating the occasional Krispy Kreme glazed donut (like this morning). |

Master 1845 Athens, Ga. | Subject: RE: triathletes track calories? I track occasionally. I've been counting calories lately because I had a freak injury and couldn't train as much, and wanted to make sure I'm not putting too much in. I'm also trying to lose a few pounds. |

Extreme Veteran 555 | Subject: RE: triathletes track calories? I don't track calories at all, but i do eat pretty healthy and I know If i'm way over or way under. For me calories are not a big deal becasue I'm not trying to lose weight and if anything I have to try and eat MORE calories. |
