Follow my complete journey as I prepare and compete in one of my toughest challenges yet...the 2014 Perth to Rottnest Island Channel swim.

Into week 2 and its all about food

I was told to expect an increase in food consumption but I never thought my body would want this much. At the moment the diet after an average two session day goes like this:

  • Breakfast
    • Bowl of muesli with milk, yogurt, banana and honey
    • Coffee
    • 1 apple
  • Mid Morning:
    • 2 Apples and an Orange
  • Lunch
    • Medium plate of pasta
    • an Orange
  • Mid Afternoon
    • 2 Glasses of flavoured milk
  • Dinner
    • Normal Dinner with a little meat and lots of vegetables
  • Evening
    • Glass of milk
Milk and fruit and colourful vegetables are the main foods I use for recovery. This is combined with a good amount of water seems to replenish the energy levels rather quick.

I am currently experimenting eating different foods on actual swim days so when I have it closer to the mark I will write a post about it.
