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!
  • I told you all that blue bell ice cream was not healthy for you Mr Unruh. www.dailymail.co.uk/.../FDA-warns-illness-linked-select-Blue-Bell-confections.html considering that my mother had her triple bypass heart surgery in that hospital, it hit a little close to home. but the reality is it had nothing to do with the ice cream and everything with the shake makers. which is more scary? Sunruh, were you powered by Blue Bell when you raced your way into the 2014 FINA Top Ten rankings? :D Congratulations to both you and StewartACarroll for your Top Ten achievements! :applaud:

  • ok here is a little training secret. so i'll whisper it so nobody else can hear.... it is "best" to maintain a 1/2gal per 1 week ratio now if mocha almond fudge cannot be found, rocky mountain road can be substituted. p.s. it is quite obvious i was missing my bluebell in montreal. darn 0.10!!!
