THE BIG BREAKFAST
The demands of swimming are such that you can burn a crazy amount of calories per swim and if you want to continue getting stronger and faster, it’s so important that you fuel and refuel correctly. This post swim breakfast is a firm favourite of mine, not only is it ridiculously tasty but it will actually keep you full past 10am, unlike many of it’s counterparts! The carbohydrates replenish the glycogen stores in your muscles and liver, that have been depleted during your swim. The eggs and salmon will provide the protein to help repair and rebuild your muscles, along with the avocado they are also a great source of essential fatty acids that are needed for a whole host of metabolic processes. A diet slightly higher in ‘good fats’ has also been shown to increase satiety and help keep us feeling fuller for longer, something that I know all swimmers who have felt ‘that’ hunger, will appreciate.
