[Sticky] Health, Nutrition, organs?  

i def think this could be useful for some folk on here :thumbup: I am currently trying to eat healthily and lose weight, but keeping the balance of eating enough to have the energy for training.

Anything posted to be more healthy must be a positive.

yeah thats what i was thinking, i know we cant all be saints, some of us like our luxuries, but it is good to know what your body needs, if you know that you can look after your self better, im a sucker for a fry up, well ,was

aye - another one trying to eat heathier so good thread - my problems are too much coffee, red wine and fags - trying to give up the fags but no way am i giving up the coffee and wine!

I know a guy who is studying at uni to become a dietitian/ nutritionist, he might be able to give you guys some info etc. Would anyone be interested in that?

As long as he says cake 😆 😆
Def interested. I used to have a whole load of info from the English fa all about the best hydrating and recovery foods/drinks and I remember being surprised at what was actually quite poor. I think mrs r had a clearout tho

Hey guys. I am the guy Jonny was talking about. :wave: I am here to help you all out!

Wee but about me:

Studying Human Biology at Queen Margaret University in Musselburgh. Most, if not all, of the course is all about physiology and nutrition. Both of these subjects are important and go hand in hand for a healthy living. I am a Rugby player so I have a good knowledge on discipline eating and training.

Any questions, I am more than happy to help out!

I also stuff my face after a knackering ride but nothing healthy, usually feel the need for something filling. I'd like an alternative to wasting the hard work I've just put in.

Straight after a ride and the next day info or advice.

I also find myself running out of gas on some rides what sort of foods are good to eat before a ride. Heres a wee example. Breakfast 2 cheese an pickle sarnys, bag of chrisps, twix, lunch 2 cheese an pickle sarnys, double decker, I only drink water no fizzy. Now a ride straight after work for 2 hours.

instead of cakes , get few apples , peaches, bananas in your camelback etc. its natural , its quickly digested and its tastier ( joke for most?? 😆 )!
i always feel that i get energy from apple quicker than from some chocolate bar.
avoid food that contains SATURATED fats! that takes ages to digest and is not healthy at all...
