Well I have been reading through all of these posts and they are extremely informative on the swimming aspect, but was wondering if anyone has any recommendations/recipes for some great swimming food? Was thinking a nice chicken stir fry over rice. Not going on a diet and don't think I am dedicated enough to do the 6 small meals per day thing, just a regular 3 meals a day *** that pretty much cut out fast foods since I began 3 weeks ago.
Also, is it more important to have a meal before or after a workout? I always seem to be hungry coming out of the pool after a workout regardless of eating an hour before. Thanks in advance

Katie,
I drink Whey protein with milk every morning after I swim. I get the chocolate flavored powder. Nothing like starting my day off with some chocolate. I have noticed that it helps with my appetite in the mornings. I eat some yogourt late morning then have lunch. I am usually pretty good until dinner. Sometimes I will get a small bowl of ice cream before bed...well that is if I can stay awake. I am usually asleep around 9 or 10 at the latest.
