i basically just started a few days ago , ive been swimming all my life but always for fun .
For the past 3 days i have been going down to the pool and swimming 30 pools , the pools are only about 20-25 meters long. but i've noticed that after swimming i get super hungry and make 2 sandwiches , then i cook some chicken or meat 30 minutes later .
any advice or some articles online about this would be great
also i do 4 kilometers or miles (depending what the treadmill is set to) walking before i go into the pool , is that a good idea?
and if someone could give me some advice on what to eat , how many times a day.
im looking to lose some weight not too much though im 6"3 180 pounds and got no muscles , i want to get some ripage in .
thanks
There's research out there that shgows we crave carbs and fat after swimming - the fat is due to being in the water.
Weight training tends to make us crave protein and carbs. Runners don't really get cravings for more food.
As someone who swims, runs, and lifts weights, all with some regularity, I think it really depends on how one swims, runs, or lifts. Simply doing one or the other really doesn't impact me so much as what specifically I did while swimming, running, weights.
An example: most teams do shorter swims on intervals. I'll commonly do a mix of 100s and 200s in swim workout, maybe some 50s thrown in too. A set like this will make me feel much more hungry than say a T30 or even a T60.
When running I mostly just go out and run, and I'd say that's probably what most adult runners do, either outside or on a treadmill. I'll be much more hungry after most track workouts (say 8 x 400m) than I would with an 8-mile straight run.
All that said, I generally just eat an Aussie Bite before any morning workouts, and a protein bar within 30 min after the workout. Then I decide if I need/want anything else.
