What Do You Eat Before A Swim?
You know how to utilize macro and micro nutrient dense foods, but what do you eat BEFORE a swim?
It's what I call QSL! Quick carbs (meaning easy to digest) + Small portions + Low fat = POWERFUL SWIM!!!!
- I see great results in myself and my clients when you eat around 1 hour - 30 minutes before a swim.
- Simple carbs/ sugars that are quick to digest! These are a great way to have quick and sustainable energy for the entire duration of the swim. Examples:
- Banana, nut butter (add honey if needed)
- Oatmeal and fruit/ Oatmeal and banana (careful on how much, sometimes can be too heavy)
- Protein smoothie with frozen fruit, banana, protein powder, nut butter
- Slice of toast with jelly or honey
- Granola bar
- Sports drink if low energy but not hungry
Try to eat small portions and not too much dairy!!
What's the sweet spot? A meal 3 hours before, and a snack 30 - 60 minutes before!
Have any questions? Ask away!!
