Recovery Food/Drink

Thanks to all who responded to my post about distance swimmer vs. sprinter. Now, I have another question: What types of foods/drinks do you eat DURING a long meet -- to recover from one event and prepare for the next? I know this is highly individual, but would like to hear what works for some of you. Thanks.

  • I try to keep hydrated by sipping on either Powerade or Gatorade throughout the day. Breakfast is usually very light something like a pancake or muffin and maybe a little fruit or yogurt. For lunch, depending on time, it could be a Subway sub with the basics or if there is not much time try Power Gel or Powerbars as a meal replacement. Dinner is chow down and hope it digests by the next day. Good Luck
