I've been inspired by the 'What training have you done today' threads that have been going on for ages.
I am interested in knowing what the other semi-elite athelets ;-) on this forum chow down on a day to day basis, before training, after training, before and after races.
The other half claims (but then she always does) that I eat all the wrong stuff so I'm interested in finding out what others eat or if they've changed eating habits and seen dramatic improvements.
I know I'm ment to eat this amount of carbs and that amount of protien and some fat somewhere, but how that actually translates into real food I have no idea. All I know is that I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and then have have a ravenous appetite after training.
So come along, share.
Today I have had;
Bowl of Oaty Cereal
Flapjack (after swimming)
Left over chicken korma
Is this good? bad? Usual?

Jacket potato and chicken mayo with cheery tomatoes. or should that be cherry?

yesterday, an apple, a bannana, an 'innocent lunch pot' (3 of my 5 a day!), fresh squeezed orange juice, soreen, fruit and fibre, then grilled meat with rice and salad. 5 cups of tea and >3 pints of water
Anyway:
Bowl of bran flakes
Bag of french fries
6" Subway Club on Honey Oat
Another bag of french fries
I wonder why that last 1/2 stone won't budge?
Went to the Butchers and couldn't decide between a sausage roll or a steak and kidney pie. Had both. They are made on the premises and are excellent examples of the species.
Then I discovered the missus (who has gone on a shopping trip to York) had been baking. So helped myself to two big pieces of sticky ginger cake. Couldn't stop at just one. Thought I would get told off if I had three..

Hmmm.. It doesn't look too good in print. Monday's official weigh in isn't going to look too good either.

Going to see if the knee will hold up enough to let me swim 20 lengths (500m) as a kind of TT tomorrow morning. Although I am supposed to be resting it. If I can't play tennis when we are on holiday the week after next, I will be in dead trouble.
