hi guys
as a total newbi to the sport iam trying to sort out my training program.
as i work nights i can train and eat before work but when i finish at 7am
its ideal to get aswim in as the pool is quiet. should i eat or sleep after
the swim as iam concerned if i eat it will be stored as fat while i sleep.

I train whenever I can and find my weight rarely fluctuates.When it rises its very easy to burn it off.
However, a lot also depends on your metabolism and the type of food you eat. Good luck.
However, post-swim you need something - I would go for fruit - something light, healthy and full of carbs. If you are on nights try and eat a main meal about 4am, at least 3 hours b4 the swim.
Again I'm not an expert, this is kind of what I have picked up
I'm new here - new to everything. Ran a marathon last summer and for Christmas decided Ironman was next... next summer that is. Just genuinely insane. I'm looking to drop weight, but gain muscle. It's happening slowly. My 2 cents is to make sure you have some protein as soon as possible after the workout. I'm into cottage cheese, a little salsa to flavor it, and a few pickles for fat. Your body needs fat to process protein. If I've worked out heavily in the past days, I do like to have this before bed as well. Rest in general is great, but most of your muscles regenerate during sleep - and you need to give them something with which to build - protein. I've also read that the only form of protein that your body is processing during sleep is cassein - this is found in milk, so I suspect it's in cottage cheese as well. Time for bed. Sleep's important. Good night - enjoy work.
