Many athletes who come to work with me have a similar goal: Finding out their ideal race weight and the best way to get there. Optimal race weight, however, can only be determined by peeling back the layers that make up the whole athlete. These not only include the individual athlete's body composition, age, gender, competition level and length of races, but their emotional relationship with food, any previous patterns of disordered eating, weight loss/gain history, level of commitment and sacrifice, to name a few. For simplicity's sake, this article focuses solely on the numbers.
When I first start working with a new athlete, I will usually review some food logs to see how things are progressing. You know what I see? Chicken. And lots of it! Chicken and broccoli. Chicken on a salad. Chicken on a low carb wrap. While a skinless, free-range chicken breast is a great source of lean protein, my fear is that food boredom is right around the corner. Well now is the perfect time of year to branch out!
“I Guess I Shouldn’t Have Eaten That”
A common complaint I hear as a sports dietitian is “I can’t eat anything before or during exercise because it causes stomach issues.”
This can be especially problematic for athletes participating in long distance triathlons and running events. While athletes can often complete short distance triathlons without sports fuels, they will require them for long distance events. Consumption of fuels prevents bonking and are fundamental for speed and performance.
Himalayan Pink Sea Salt. Bolivian Rose Sea Salt. Dead Sea Salt. Celtic Sea Salt. Hawaiian Alaea Sea Salt. Organic and Natural Sea Salt.
Sea Salts are marketed to us as a more natural and healthy alternative. But are they any different than table salt?
Yes and No.
What is Sea Salt, anyway?
As the colder months roll in and slowly envelop us in frigid air, our food choices start to change. Our penchant for salad goes by the wayside and we start craving more comforting foods: warm, creamy soups; toasty, gooey casseroles; and oodles of noodles. All the delicious foods that, if eaten with abandon, help create the lovely padding around our midsection– a thermal layer that keeps up warm through these chilly months.
