What I Eat In A Day | Pro Triathlon Edition 

🙂🙏

Quite a bit of eating 😁

Hey good you found what works for you 👍 Very individual with diet. Yes went deep down the Low carb high fat route but didn't work well for me over time, got a good system now. Happy training!

It is for weightloss as well/optimizing weight. I went down quite a bit but steady 👍 dont force it but lets see if body goes to 79/80 with time, like I used to. If so then I need to adjust diet to make a stop to loosing weight as well.

Thanks for the thoughts, yes did every detail of it also Tim's knowledge etc. 5 years back already when it started getting traction in triathlon.

Hey yes I do, I do straight sugar which is the pure amount of carbs you see in sports drinks, so 60g sugar = 60g CHO/carbs. That with sodium tablets is the cheapest and cleanest way for the gut I found.

You are a legend my friend thanks very much!

About 50% carb, 40%protein, 10%fat

Hi mate, yes I went down that avenue playing with diet and fasted training. First once weekly 45min run which I cannot say did anything for me. As triathletes and endurance enthusiasts gravitate towards extremes, I went 1.5 yrs full on LCHF 50-100g carbs a day, 4-5hr fasted rides with water only etc. - keto you name it I did it to the extreme. Results of it? I was pretty much broken for close to 2yrs after that, had one good race in me with it then good bye. I know the kenyans do all their morning runs fasted, but 1) they probably grew up that way 2) the running is all the aerobic load they get so maximizing that with altitude and fasted training MIGHT be a good idea, but also just might break half of the guys doing it. You are looking for the secret sauce, the 1%, the extra mile, as I did and executed to the extreme including well know LCHF coach promoting this BS right now. Playing with any extremes is playing with fire, the chance of it working super super well better than anything someone ever did are close to zero, but the risk of it can be massive. Undereating which it will lead to, causes all kinds of fun symptoms like depressions and so forth, playing with gut and body is not a good idea IMO. The one thing that will make every single human improve, is good load weekly that the athlete can ABSORB and execute week by week, month by month without mental or physical burnout. Reacting to any plateaus in training by new stimuli that fit the progression and not waiting for it to magically change by doing more of it (like I did by listening to coaches) Anyways that's my jam to the topic, you do you 😁🙏

@@MattiWeitz Thanks for your detailed answer! I strategize my nutrition based on the german nutrition guidelines that mainly promote a distribution of macros that consists of 30% fat, 1,5g protein per kg body weight and the rest (good) carbs. The only thing I'm about to test is to cut the carbs by 10% and increase fat by 10% to cover my daily energy expenditures. The keto-thing is interesting, but for me it's not the right thing to do, but I'm interested in nutrition styles and would like to learn more about it. Lately, there have been some mental health interventions developed that are based on the effects of ketosis. The rational about running fasted is more related to the research on longevity that showed in mice that they life significantly longer with restricted feeding time. For me, it's not so much of a secret sauce, but more about finding optimum that optimizes long term health and being competitive in my age group. You are absolutely right about consistency and long term improvement. It's nice to exchange knowledge with an individual having a progressive mind-set. Keep going! I'll follow along.

@@bm6825 Sure try stuff out and see how you feel! Nutrition has mainly two goals 1) fo you recover from sessions / glycogen up / structures healing and 2) do you perform with it.

@@bm6825 Germans are trustworthy IMO. Good choice. (I'm not German BTW).

Mix of things, mainly fat in it and I don't like to eat it as well.. don't know if bad for you or not changed every day what's out there, but feel good/better without it, also fills you up a lot more, mainly want the protein from the egg..

🤓👋

My diet changed a bit since then, but I confirm it's no fun :D But one limited to endurance training / volume / intensity is definitely caloric uptake ability, so the better you get at that front the better you train eventually.
