I have a question for everybody. I eat pretty strictly according to the "core diet," which is essentially paleo for atheltes with some dairy and legumes. Because of this I tend to eat a lot of the same things over and over again. Today is a pretty typical
(and often repeated
) day for me:
M1 (pre-bike) -- 3 pancakes & strawberries
M2 (bike) -- 2 bottled Ironman Perform
M3 (post-bike) -- 2 scoops Endurox
M4 (10 a.m.) -- Yogurt, carrots & strawberries
M5 (1 p.m.) -- Salmon, asparagus & apple
M6 (4 p.m.) -- Turkey burger, broccoli & 6 prunes
M7 (pre-run) -- Power bar
M8 (run) -- 1 bottle Ironman Perform
M9 (post-run) -- 2 scoops Endurox
M10 (9 p.m.) -- 2 Eggs & Spinach
I was wondering what everyone else eats on a daily basis while training. I'm really curious if I can discover some new things to add to the rotation.
I eat pretty much the same kind of things everyday not due to any diet restriction but simply due to convenience. I pack all my ffod for the week on Sunday and bring it to my office. In general, it's all whole, organic foods. This is what I currently do during the week, if I were in IM training it would be a bit different.
Breakfast- Nothing. I find this helps stimulate my metabolism and does not have a negative effect on my morning training which is usually a swim and maybe a run once per week. If I was in IM training, I usually have a bowl of Kashai Go-Lean cereal with skim milk. 2 cups of coffee.
Post swim/run- Low fat greek yougrt with a little stevia sprinkled in and a banana.
Pre-Lunch snakck- an apple and an orange
Lunch- a salad with spinich, cherry tomatoes, raw chopped brocolli, baby carrots, chopped yellow peppers, chopped onion, chicken
(from a can
), alfalfa sprouts, olive oil, and balsamic vinegear.
Post afternoon bike/run- If it's a session under 90 min., just coconut water. If it's a big session, I'll make a GU Brew Revovery drink.
Dinner- Fish at least 4x per week, chicken, sometimes a steak, with a fresh veggie and a startch like potatoe or rice. We also do pasta once per week with ground turkey, turkey burgers. On the weekends Jamie makes more elaborate dinners.
