Sports nutrition- support needed

breezey...that sounds great! a perfect food day!!

In case anyone cares....yesterday I had:

large bowl of muesli with one sliced banana and about 1 cup of frozen blueberries with one tall glass of watered down juice and lots of vitamins. (at about 7:00 am)

about 2 1/2 cups of salad (coleslaw mix, broccoli coleslaw mix, cucumber, zuchini, canned mushrooms, yellow peppers, red peppers, mixed bean sprouts, broccoli, quinoa, about 2 oz of spicy cooked chicken breast and maybe 1 1/2 tablespoons of honeygarlic/ginger sauce) (at about 11:00 am)

1 slice of banana bread (loaded with nuts, raisins, fruit, and no sugar choc chips)

about 1 cup of scalloped potatoes at 3:00 pm

2 1 hour kickboxing classes

1/2 serving of endurox recovery drink

popcorn with a wee bit o' butter and more hot sauce at about 9:00 pm



Today is not a kickboxing day so....no potatoes mid afternoon, but I will eat my carrots and boiled egg at some point, and probably a banana. lunch will be about the same, but a bit later. dinner will probably be a hearty soup. only exercise today is walk to work and back (1/2 hour each way), dog walks and, if I get through all the cooking I have to do tonight, maybe yoga. Tomorrow is kickboxing x 2 again, so I'll eat much like yesterday.

any comments/ suggestions for making that better?

oh, right, and about 4 cups of herbal tea with nothing in it throughout the day, and about 900ml of water through the 2 kickboxing classes, and a seriously watered down tall glass of juice with the popcorn.

my weight has been virtually steady state, 1 pound lost in 3 months, but my clothes fit better and various body parts are higher as a result of the kickboxing. once riding season is here in full force, that layer of fat will disappear and my muscles will be more clearly defined. expected weight loss should only be in the order of a maximum of 5 pounds over the summer, fat loss should be much more.

Keep going, everybody!! This keeping fit and eating healthy thing is really cool!!

Namaste,

I made something yesterday that was good, I cooked some spinach in olive oil and put my egg white and whole egg in and cooked them then put a slice of provolone cheese in and melted it, I like spinach so it was great, I was having a creative moment. Also, I tried Buffalo meat last week, it was pretty good, I didn't find it any less fatty than good hamburger but the taste was better.

Just thought I would share, can we have a forum for this - recipes and good food we tried?

One more thing, when I rode Sunday I got pretty tired after an hour, I had bought some honey sticks and had one with me, I took it and it really helped. If anyone is interested I can give you the email addy for the lady, she has flavored honey too - I like the strawberry flavor. They are convenient to carry, you just bite on the end and the straw opens and you suck it out.
