If I have come across in that way I do apologise as it was never intended to be a you must do this. I understand that there are people with a lot of knowledge and experience, I do still stand by some of the things I have said however though I am still learning. No offence intended, I have now been made to feel like an…

I'd just like to say to everyone that what I said was only in my opinion and not something that should definitely be followed. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I stated what I did as this is what has worked for.

I'm guessing that reply is to me! I am afraid I don't know what it's like at summer camps etc, hence why I was asking what it was like! Of course I wouldn't suggest that! I wasn't giving definite advice as I was asking questions. I was saying that's what I would do if the option was available but I didn't know at all what…

Yes you are right I'll hold my hands up to that it isn't necessarily classed as bad foods, I guess I mean they can be bad for you if consumed excessively. Yes it's not universal but I generally use that as an average as of course it can be less. I of course don't claim to know everything or that I am one hundred percent…

yes you are completely correct with that, however my way of thinking is that your body uses carbs first to fuel itself, followed by fat and then protein. i would personally use complex slow digesting carbs to fuel my body so that my muscles are protected from protein being used further down the line. i admit that i dont…

Yes i understand what you are saying to a certain degree. when it comes to wheat, whole grain is classed as a complex carb and white is classed as a simple carb. majority of cakes and cookies are prepared using white. milk is classed generally as carb as per 100ml of skimmed milk as an example, there is 1 g of fat, 3g of…

I would consider these foods to be simple and refined carbs as definite for a high exercise job. simple carbs such as cookies, cake, energy drinks and milks will be digested and used by the body very quickly, leading to hunger and tiredness a lot quicker. refined carbs such as white pasta and rice have essentially had most…

got you! sorry i am from the UK so not to clued up on that im afraid :)

I guess that does kind of depend on if your exercise is higher than what you would normally do at home, for instance it may stay the same if you do a lot of hiking or running. again the food side kind of depends, do you have a set meal every time or do you choose from a selection. in either case i would just try to stay…

To be honest once a week i will have a day where my dinner and dessert is definitely not what i would have down normally, such as pizza and ice cream. however on they day that i do this, i will make sure it is not on a rest day and i will push myself harder and longer during my exercise routines. i will always try to make…

hey, yeah i do intermittent fasting, i generally stop eating around 20:00 hours and start again at 1200. the only things i consume during this time is plain water after 20:00 and black coffee with no sugar or milk after i wake up. i find this works very well but they key to being successful for me is the food i consume…

Have you have lost weight? as you lose weight your basal metabolic rate will go down so your calorie needs for the day wont be as high as they were before.
