Diet & Nutrition

I’m returning to hurling this year after 4 years of threatening.
Signed up with a lower end range hurling club up here and am starting training tonight.

Dreading the fucking thoughts of it, though I’m sure I’ll feel better afterwards. I’ve played one game of astro this year and thats the extent of my preparation. It’s possible I could die.

Anyway whats the latest on what kind of foods I should be eating today in anticipation & tomorrow in recovery? I’m well behind on current trends.

If anyone has any superfood that I could have for lunch today that would make up for 4 years of smoking too, much, drinking too much and not exercising at all I’d appreciate it.

You should probably get some gait analysis done during lunch

Im not quite sure, but i think amphibian king do it…

also, what time will you be activating your glutes?

Sandwich/bread alternative for lunch as I eye the summer

Marks and Spencer full for longer soup - chicken and chorizo - bang it in microwave for 90 seconds

tastes decent and fairly satisfying

relative of mine doing a nutrition course used me as a guinea pig yesterday and reckons my average body fat percentage is 22%, which he reckons is average. I feared it would be worse as I’ve let my sweet tooth loose big time in last few months.

285 calories is not going to fill you for lunch.

Just made a batch of protein cookies, delicious.

Yeah was more looking for handy sandwich alternative

Also had 9 bar and protein shake before lunch so was enough with that

9 bar is about 250 calories

Making your own lunch an option?

Yeah I could do it if I was more organised. Trying to stop eating bread is my aim for now so just want to break that habit.

Any suggestions for things to bring?

About 3 teaspoons of sugar in that. Make your own

ingredients?

Protein for a start, I shouldn’t wonder.

Make your own soup. One pot dinners to warm up like curry or chilli, vegetarian versions even. Salads -you need to bulk them up with stuff like beetroot and carrot, and maybe baby potatoes, quinoa, lentils, nuts, chickpeas, cous cous or pasta, and then a chicken breast or tuna and some bacon feta or egg.

@ChocolateMice, I can’t get enough taco sauce lately. Is this bad for me?

Insects are a great source of protein. Fitzy swears by them in the colonies.

Oats, protein powder,peanut butter, apple sauce, stevia, baking powder, salt, 1 egg, 1 egg white.

Mix one egg, egg white and cup of peanut butter (heat peanut butter for 30 seconds in microwave to soften) and 2 table spoons of apple sauce. Stir well until smooth… Then mix with cup of oats, cup of stevia, 1/4 cup of vanilla protein powder, table spoon of baking powder and 1/8 table spoon of salt… Stir it all up until mixed well. Wet your hands then pick up and mould mix into 12 balls and place on gease proof paper and whack into oven at 180 for 10 minutes… leave to cool.

Not really— Have you tried harissa?
