I have searched throughout the forum and found little information about nutrition and supplements subjects suitable for swimmers. Generally I am against any supplement to improve overall capabilities of a swimmer. However its not always easy to maintain proper nutrition levels due other daily activities, especially with juniors when they are at school and have too many whims at the same time. So I am starting this thread with hope that any of you could share their favourite and sometimes perhaps "weird" recipes for meals that they believe provide proper nutrition with heavy and/or moderate workload swimmers. Meals-to-go recipes and budget for that relevant recipe are very welcomed. And if you are also able to provide data on what and how many elements such as proteins/carbs/iron/calcium etc shall be consumed by that recipe, I will be speachless :)! (last one is of course is just a too big wish).
Thanks!
It's very simple. Avoid any type of sugar and include raw vegetables with at least two of the meals (lettuce doesn't count as it provides little nutrition). If you can't maintain your weight, add more calories. if you need to lose weight, either burn more or eat less. If you are loosing muscle strength, either consume more protein or burn less fuel
