As there was some interest in swimming-related nutrition, please post comments to this thread. Diets, timing of consumption in relation to swimming, metabolism, and links to nutrition sites for athletes would seem appropriate.

Thanksgiving certainly poses a challenge to the weight loss and weight maintenance good effects of a regular swim workout. I address the problem by eating something at the usual times during the day so I do not face a hunger binge at 4 p.m. By myself, I will have a couple of slices of turkey and a very modest amount of relish from the deli, then go for a long walk or to the zoo. When dining with others, I find the light lunch at usual time makes it very easy to control the portions I put on my plate. I can enjoy the food and social occasion without overeating.
And it is certainly a joy to get back in the pool after an enforced absence!
Do others have strategies for surviving without adding extra pounds? Or do you enjoy the eating, then promise to swim harder, faster, and longer? :cool:
