How about some good favorite swim recipes like a "swim breakfast" or a good "low fat" or just "cheap" to make recipe for a family or your favorite "night before the meet swim dinner". Heres some of mine
Swim Breakfast: Banana , Vanilla Yogurt
Cheap low fat family dinner: "Skarf": 1 pound ground beef, box of frozen mixed vegetables, package of yellow rice and a cup of white rice.
Brown beef and drain all fat/ boil mixed veggies drain/cook rice with a extra cup of white rice/ combine all mix together. makes a big batch, microwaves great, kids love it it , its cheap and I call it skarf because thats what we end up doing because its good!
The night before dinner: Spaghetti with meat balls:
Sauce:
1 big jar Ragu traditional sauce 28 oz or more. /1 ring of green pepper/ 1 big tablespoon olive oil/good shake of parmesan cheese. Stir cook on low heat add :
Meat balls
1 pound ground beef 80 % lean/two pieces white bread crusts removed and chopped up/1 egg/ 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce/1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs/2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix up in a bowl and form into meat balls/ brown in heavy skillet med heat turning often/I place the skillet in the oven also for about 15 minutes @ 350F carefull to remember that skillets hot and then put the meatballs in the sauce to cook at least another 1/2 hour at a low simmer. That one ring of green pepper adds a good flavor to the sauce.
We like this over any knid of spaghetti noodle.

Generally, after swimming, I'll eat anything in massive quantities. Last nihgt was the first time I've swam since August. After that I ate I frozen pizza with added peppers, mushrooms, olives, broccoli(sp), chopped fresh mustard greens and artichole hearts. then a bowl of rocky road ice cream with reese's pieces and walnuts added. Two slices of 12 grain toast with honey sliced banana and raisins. II woke up a t4:30 am starving.
It is a true jy to be able to eat huge amounts of food. During the last months that I've only been rowing & lifting, I've gained 14.74 pounds. My GI doctor is very happy.
