I have been swimming for about 5 weeks with the local masters program. I swim at night and finish about 8PM. I can't eat before I swim but after I swim I don't want to eat dinner. Any suggestions regarding something nutritious and light that will digest easily?

Hey I am a diabetic and have high blood pressure. When I am in Mexico I cycle 10 or fifteen K a day and swim 1 to 2 hours a day and I go off all of my medication. I have to make sure that I eat my three meals a day and three snacks a day. Making sure I eat proteins, carbs and fats for my regular meals. The snacks are generally fruits and measured, eg. half an orange rather than the whole orange. My evening snack is usally custard or fruit pie. I also have the odd beer or margaretta. When at home I don't get enough exercise and always need my meds. I check blood pressure every day and test my blood sugar 3 times a day. Thank goodness I am heading to Mexico this November and heading back to Canada in April.
I can eat right before I swim or right after I get out or even while swimming.
