On Saturday evening I ate pizza for the first time in a while. On Sunday morning I had one of the best swim practices in a while. So much energy! Swam 4500m and spent another half hour mucking around practicing SDK's, turns, etc....just didn't want to get out of the water.
Just wondering if the pizza and the increase in energy were related in any way or was it purely coincidental? Does pizza perhaps have the perfect protein to carbohydrate ratio?
It was a three cheese, thin crust Magherita with a sprinkling of smoked sausage. There wasn't a lot of cheese either. Just the right amount. Had a glass of Coca Cola with it. The only time I ever drink coke is when I eat pizza or BBQ.
Anyone had a similar experience or have a different favourite energy-giving meal.

I wish! Not for me. Had pizza (I rarely eat it) on a Thursday night and had a terrible practice (felt fatigued and like I was ready to puke) on Friday morning. I think it was the pizza. Too many carbs, cals and fat?! I do like it post a meet on occasion!
