| Orienteer: | Does any1 here do the whole healthy eating thing?!.. lol

| Acampbell: | I try and do the healthy eating thing. Keyword in the sentence TRY. I think though if i'm going to actually really be serious about orienteering i should probably try harder to do it. I try not to drink soda though if i have the choice.
As for pre/post race snacks. I've found that bananas are Awesome!!! and PBJ's are another great snack both pre/post depending when your running. If your running in the afternoon like 3ish for lunch. if your running like 12:30-1 post race. also i'm tried clif bars before a race and that worked pretty well. |

| mood: | Yes, I'm trying to eat healty and somehow according to the paleolithic diet which basicly means that I don't (try not to) eat products that's refined. Products that didn't exist 1000 years ago.
This means: a lot of fruits, berry, nuts, meat, fish, egg and vegetables. And less pasta, rice, bread and sugar. |

| Jordan.Laughlin: | you don't have to eat extremely healthy if you exercise enough. |

| mood: | I wouldn't eat anything special. If you eat like this you don't have to carbo-load before a race. I try to eat as world class triathlete Jonas Colting. |

| elly: | im good with eating carbs but not so much fruit/vegetables. i like sugary food.

| Heffer: | Jordan said: you don't have to eat extremely healthy if you exercise enough
Well, that's not exactly true. In terms of energy balance, yes. If you're exercising a lot, you need to increase your energy intake. But you should eat healthily to get your other nutrients to required levels. |

| elly: | yeah i think you're a bit strange. but i doo feel hungrier in winter (sugar cravings). i don think i get enough nutrients. how can you tell? i dont have energy problems at the moment. |
| # Posted 2008-07-01 15:16:14 | |
| Heffer: | Well it's kind of hard to tell.
But we have what's called the Reccomended Daily Intake (RDI) for most major nutrients. Trouble is to find out if you're meeting those you need to log everything you eat into a special program. Easiest way to keep ontop of it all is to follow the guidelines of how many serves of the core food groups you should have each day. If you really want to get better at eating, go see a nutritionist, they help a lot. It's always hard to fix your diet when you live at home, but trying to eat as little processed food as you can is the best start. Fresh is always best! |

| elly: | ok thanks, ill give it a go this week and see how i feel!

| # Posted 2008-07-01 18:14:14 | |
| Heffer: | Hah! I never could! Ice cream, chocolate, all that yummy stuff :D
You can eat lots of good stuff, just in healthy amounts. |

| dsdvoa: | I usualy don't eat that healthy but i still run fine. the junk food doesn't seem to effect me. But i do run almost every day so that maybe why.
But before every race i over load on carbs. it gives u a good amount of energy. |
