Proper Nutrition

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!

  • Just eat food like a normal person. You'll be fine. If you "eat food like a normal person," does that mean you reject out of hand Michelle Obama's diet ideas, as do a lot of apparently normal people including a lot of kids who eat in school cafeterias We don't need to be bring the First Lady into this discussion because it might become politicized. I definitely do NOT equate the two phrases "eat food like a normal person" and "kids who eat in school cafeterias!"
