What do swimmers use for electrolyte replacement and/or meal replacement shakes, etc? I am trying to loose weight but despite all my swimming, it's not happening. I think it's got to be because I'm hungrier, but have a hard time gauging my calories, so I'm looking for a meal replacement system that will help me meep track but that will also have adequqate protein and vitamins for maintaining training. Any suggestions? Thanks!
As for protein shakes, one thing I think no one has mentioned is that the protein source in most is soy, and there are good reasons not to want to consume too much soy in your diet (if you can help it — like HFCS, it's everywhere these days). Incidentally, most of the soy consumed in Asia has been fermented, which is a very different thing.
