Eating Your Way to Success
Brent McFarlane, who is known as one of the world's leading hurldes coaches. Here he turns his attention to the latest ideas on what exactly can you eat before or during a workout or competition:
Option number 1:
Apple (CHO) and cheese (protein and fat)-contains the amino add arginine which spikes HGH to higher levels.
Option number 2:
Whole wheat or rye bread (CHO) and peanut butter (protein and fat). Peanuts also have arginine and are a good fat that will slow down the entry of the sugar from bread into the body.
Option number 3:
Whole wheat or rye bread (CHO) and chicken or turkey (protein) and butter (fat). In fact, fat releases an enzyme which burns fat.
Option number 4:
2% or whole milk (CHO), protein and fat). Milk has the amino acid tryptopham which induces HGH release. No skim milk. You need at least 2% fat in order to absorb Vitamin D and calcium.
Option number 5:
Fruit (CHO) and protein (eggs-high in arginine) with No bread which spikes blood sugar causing the fat in eggs to be converted into bad cholesterol.
Option number 6:
Power Bar (40-30-30) or a sports drink (40-30-30). Read the label. Know what is in your food.
Option number 7:
Pure water is number one in cleaning out waste and poison in the body to aid recovery and peak performance. Water also dilutes acid in the stomach. A loss of 1-2% water hurts performance. Proper hydration is a 24-hour issue.
