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!
No one argues that veggies and fruits aren't good for you... but they do not make up other critical components of a diet, particularly for athletes, the question is, where to get protein from. That is the bigger problem in dieting than eating fruits and veggies which have few calories anyway.
The thing that's important about eating fresh veggies is that you burn a lot of calories just by the constant chewing motion.
I'm usually spent after the jaw workout a big salad gives me.
