Member 5452   NC | Subject: RE: diet First of all, any fish other than tilapia. ETA: You can get frozen, wild-caught tuna and mahi at Wal-Mart that's reasonably priced. Edited by Goosedog 2014-03-11 7:58 PM |

Expert 2192 Greenville, SC | Subject: RE: diet find some nice hot sauces. seriously. get a bunch of different kinds that taste different and rotate them. also use different vegetable mixes each day for things like chicken. some days i throw chicken breast on a bun with avacado/sour cream. the next it might be with black beans over rice with salsa. you can also change up how you eat your eggs. scrambled. fried. hard boiled. i usually scramble mine with jalepenos and throw black beans and salsa on before eating. |

Weight loss? Fueling training? Then you need to eat more. Who the hell can train 15-18 hours per week (minimum to be "an animal" IMO) on that diet? I'd starve to death. |

| 12 Centennial, Colorado | Subject: RE: diet Are you trying to lose or gain weight or just watch what you eat? old fashioned oatmeal in the morning with (strawberries/blueberries/sliced almonds) or whatever floats your boat. Or mix in a fruit smoothie with greek yogurt/almond milk/fresh or frozen fruit. keep eating your chicken, but throw it in a stir fry with a bunch of steamed veggies and wild rice. Salmon and tuna/albacore are very good for you too. Kidney/black beans are good to eat as well. great snack food is the energy balls. oatmeal, peanut butter, flaccid oil, choc chips, and honey (i think) very easy to make and carry around. you may have to look up the recipe for those there might be more to add to it I cant remember. |

Also, how many calories and what percentage of which (protein, fat, fruit) are you eating? EAT YOUR CARBS!!!!!! Just watch where you get them/how much you are eating of them. Carbs are your energy source. and if you are/want to train hard your body needs that source energy. |

| New user 27 | Subject: RE: diet I just copied and pasted that  seems like if I eat carbs, I bloat up. I do need to be on a gluten free carb diet. I also always thought that it's better not to be eating carbs and result for fat for energy so when racing - the carbs you eat are utilized "better" and you don't have to eat as much for fuel. - course, correct me if I"m wrong |

| 172 Kenmore, Washington | Subject: RE: diet Salmon. Heat up some olive oil in a pan, throw the salmon steak on skin side down so it sears, lower heat and cover, eat it all with the skin. Prime sirloin from Costco is pretty good. Cut the steaks in half. For carbs - white rice pilaf with eggs + veggies + butter, baked sweet potato fries, mountains of fruit. I'd rather eat cod than tilapia, but both are way too lean to be a regular part of my diet. |

New user 230 penticton | Subject: RE: diet well..carbs are important to performance....to quality workout. The body is amazing at buring fat at low intensity. so really, you have to kept it simple...eat a balance diet...make sure you are well fuelled for training and racing.... and remember that all elite athletes eats plenty of carbs....olympic distance and ironman, so dont be scare of those! lots of people avoid gluten.... i understand your case very well. i think it can be a very healthy choice to do so |

Expert 932 Chandler, AZ | Subject: RE: diet Let's see... It looks like you're missing out on some of the essentials to me...In fact, I'm not sure how you're getting through your training/racing with this poor of a diet. One of the main issues I'm seeing is your lack of wings and/or pizza. I try to get one or the other in at least once a week if possible...Also, I'm not seeing any hamburgers...Hamburgers, preferably with bacon and cheese, are really important in order to keep a balanced diet. Every once in a while I like to throw in a burrito, but please do so at your own discretion... Besides that, I think you're doing really well...Keep it up!! |

Veteran 2842 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: diet Originally posted by Bevie I dunno but I ate a bowl of Moose tracks ice cream last night. I caved...sigh. Guess you have to enjoy the little things every now and again. I eat dessert pretty much every night. No, I'm not in the zero percent body fat club, but if the rest of the diet is balanced, a sensible dessert can be worked in without a problem. A reasonable amount of programmed sweets (ramekin of ice cream, pudding, etc. after dinner) keeps me from going off the rails and dropping a pint of Ben & Jerry's... Now, if you're a pro or elite… Well, I honestly have no idea what pro's and elites do. You'd have to ask them. The other advice above is sound (fuel the workouts, limit late night stuff, be smart about stupid choices - as in moderate them, etc.). With a high volume plan, you really would benefit from a well timed source of carbs (doesn't have to be from wheat if you're sensitive). I'm no where near "animal" status, but I would crump without intentionally putting carbs into my diet to support the workouts. When I just wing it and work after a low carb meal, I'm flat - and usually for both workouts that day (seems tough to catch up if I don't fuel right at the start of the day). Just my experience... Life is way too short for *me* to give up ice cream! (and I'll say that as you pass me on race day) Matt |

Extreme Veteran 5722 | Subject: RE: diet Originally posted by ectofighter Do the majority of you guys only eat high protein, fruit and fats? No carbs, no complex carbs etc? Also, how many calories and what percentage of which (protein, fat, fruit) are you eating? For medical reasons my diet is much higher in fat and protein. The result is I do burn an abnormally high % of fat when racing short and long course Is this good ? no. I feel I am missing out on many nutrients that I would get from a more balanced diet. If carbs are giving you trouble, try a) timing them post workout b) picking carbs with a low GI. This is the only way I can consume them Both of these points can make a huge difference in how the body responds |
