• I was waiting for someone to bite at that photo.

    Granted my snacks are bad in order to have some body fat... But I do eat a very good diet, I had shingles a few years ago when trying to trial with rowing so started taking vitamins since then and I don't eat meat or dairy so eat a huge amount of veg and grains, well that's pretty much all I eat.

    I was just interested in knowing how you guys manage your health while doing a large amount of volume with racing etc.

    Thanks, it's definitely a challenge but I'm enjoying it. Well at the moment I am...

  • And you make the good point, we are all individual so you must concentrate on what you do and need. Ie. I eat a good bit of red meat and fish. So what I do or take isnt applicable.

    Though I disagree with your snacks needing to be as bad as those croissant things. Peanut butter or other butters and jam sandwich or bananas. Avocado sandwich. Oat bars. Nuts. There are many healthier options.

  • It's massively individual, I meant to say I don't eat cheese not dairy fully as I do eat chocolate. There seems to be a lot of nonsense on the internet/socials/netflix about how a diet suits all and why everyone should eat one way or another but in reality it's individual trial and error.

    Those croissants were a just to try ... My GF bakes each weekend so I get either peanut butter cookies or flapjacks, these normally last the working week. My 'bad' snacks are soreen loaf, chocolate fruit and nut mix, occasionally peanut butter and nutella sandwiches

    ... that aren't in packets.

    I've got into brioche bread or mini-brioches or briochettes or something with jam and PB in them.

    I think Wilko said he was on the white bread with PB and honey when he smashed his own 24hr record a few years ago. I tried that as well but prefer jam.
