A banana before I swim and afterwards..... Bagel & cream cheese & lox & big ol' cup of coffee with milk....... By the 60 minute mark in my swim I start fantasizing about the coffee and bagel:coffee:

I usually swim later in the day, so for dinner I like (vegetarian) Cincinnati-style chili. This is chili over spaghetti with a bit of cheese on top. (I know the Texas crowd will probably make noises like a scalded dog at that, but when I was growing up we didn't have a lot of money and it was a way for my mom to fill us up cheaply.) When I do swim in the AM: Oatmeal mixed with a little margarine, raisins, cinnamon and (real) vanilla extract. No sugar. Orange juice. Earl Grey tea, black. -LBJ

Milk. Perfect 4:1 ratio for optimum recovery. And it builds strong bones and muscles.

In the morning: Bananna milkshake (with real banannas), 2 fried egg bagels with cheese, a cereal bowl of the ultimate mix(weetabix, frosted flakes, topped with sugar puffs and cheerios). Peanut butter sandwich on white :) Glass of OJ. Bottle of water.

In the evening if I don't have time for a full meal, sometimes I'll grab a can of Bush's vegetarian baked beans, which have about the same carb to protein ratio as Endurox. And they have the added benefit of providing extra gas turbo power for the next day's swim ;-) Another evening favorite is a huge spinach salad with nuts, seeds, every possible kind of veggies, cheeses, and a can of sardines on top. When I swim in the morning I eat huge breakfasts that include every breakfast menu item available. My kids call it the "breakfast feast".

Can't beat greasy fried chicken and hush puppies. Only problem is that you can't get the latter in Colorado even though some restaurants I've eaten in claim to make them.

I usually have to get to work so I drink a quick OJ with protein powder mixed in after working out. I usually don't get hungry until a couple of hours later, and then I'm starving. After OWS events, though, there must be a beer at the finish line. It is required.

Lately I've been fixing a big glass (30oz) of ice cream and milk. Sometimes I add chocolate syrup. When I was a kid I used to fix myself a cheap 14" frozen pizza, eat it while watching cartoons, go sleep for an hr. and then eat dinner. Fortunately for me I'm very tolerant of the lactose. Nanner's are good too. :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

A piece of wheat toast with peanut butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. (If it was a really hard workout, I go with two pieces of toast and make it a toasted peanut butter sandwich.) With coffee, of course. :anim_coffee:

That a good one. especially at work. just enough to fix todays damage. I workout in the morning, so here's my favorite post-workout breakfast: oatmeal (real oats, not quickie oats) with peanut butter (organic, no additives) and honey double espresso glass of OJ It's simple, but keeps you feeling satisfied and the energy flowing through the morning. I used to make my oatmeal like this www.marthastewart.com/.../strawberry-oatmeal-breakfast With raisins and a few pecans tossed in too though. Way too good to be good. + double espresso glass of OJ

oatmeal (real oats, not quickie oats) with peanut butter (organic, no additives) and honey Now that sounds like a good way to make oatmeal. Thanks. My post workout meal is pretty standard. 1 scoop of Endurox R4 in 16oz of water 2 eggos + a healthy dose of Mrs. Buttersworth cheddar omelet (half a box of egg starts + a healthy sprinkling of shredded cheddar) 12oz latte (2 shots espresso + milk + 1/2 tsp sugar) Now my favorite would be if someone would whip up some fresh waffles for me, but everything else is good. Endurox is the only supplement I currently use and I love the Fruit Punch.

Egg burrito with tomatoes, sharp cheddar, and avocado on a spicy tortilla. 2 cups of coffee. Half an hour later when I'm starving a few bowls of honey nut cherrios.

ouch! me a lardass?--I like to think of myself as husky. I don't do this often but after last saturday (you remember the one you wussed out on), I did partake in the la breakfast.:) The "lardass breakfast," man, not you. You're an Adonis. :bow: I seriously wish I could eat like that again. I mean, I can eat like that, but the result is not pretty.

Don't get to eat it much, but since I swim in the AM my favorite post-workout breakfast would be IHOP's Harvest Nut and Grain pancakes. Sugar and carbs with just a hint of nutrition... Mmmmmmm.....

After a meet, there is nothing better than a Four Peaks Cheeseburger (1/3 lb. Angus beef) with beer-battered fries and a cold Kilt Lifter or 8th Street Ale. YUMMY, a great recovery meal if there ever was one. You get your protein, carbs, veggies, and alcohol in perfect portions! After a workout, I will eat almost anything that is not crawling on the floor at home. Taters or brown rice is almost always a part of the mix though. Damn, now I am hungry and I have not swum yet!
