The essential thing for me is to make sure that I consume protien when I take in the carbs so I don't get an immediate sugar bang, protein slows the sugar hit. We used to consume lots of wheat germ oil 30 3minum capsules a day (a source of vitamin E) to give us the glycogen for the muscles. I now take 1600 iu of vitamin e for regular training boost it for 1 week to 2400 iu a day before a long swim. We had fries and shrimp last night for dinner with a great hot sauce to get ready for our prep diet for Mexican food. Fries and shrimps cooked in olive oil, a few greens and tomato salad, 12 red grapes a perfect combo of carbs protein and fat etc. Oh forgot the great coffee (no sugar with h/h cream) my wife Chuckie makes.
