Couldn't really be bothered. Rather have lived to the fullest and live a year shorter than have a boring life and live longer. Besides, I believe an active lifestyle with healthy foods do help for a longer life.

The dextrose is solely for the insulin spike if you take the shake post workout. I never add the dextrose Pre WO. Oatmeal added to smoothies work great, too! But sometimes I just don't have enough time for that...and 100gr of oatmeal in a smoothie doesn't work out quite that well. You're welcome!

Anything with sugar.

Peanut butter. FRUIT! Oatmeal+milk+cacao powder. SMOOTHIES. Damn they are so tasty!

I eat a crap load of food and fortunately manage to keep gaining mass.

Try to focus on particular things to keep things interesting; sprinting, distance, legs, arms, particular stroke, etc.. Training example for sprinting: WARMING UP 2x100 freestyle 1x100 backstroke 50 legs 100 arms 100 medley TECHNIQUE (25sec rest) 100 freestyle, tick hips 100 freestyle, tick shoulder 100 freestyle, enter…

As said in previous comments, the butterfly kick is all about doing a wave motion. This motion starts at your chest! You can practice this technique by laying face-down in the water, hands straight ahead, and begin the motion at your finger tips. In my language (Dutch) we call it dolphining. You can also just go face-up…

At 50 seconds on 50m freestyle I'd say you could easily shave off some seconds just by improving your technique! Go for it. :)

It's my 2nd favourite stroke after the backstroke. I love the 50 & 100m sprint in particular!

Octo rings are delicious..

Is that glitter?

Hey, ik was toevallig voor Nederlanders aan het zoeken, kwam jouw topic tegen. Ik kan mij niet relateren tot het gewichtverlies, maar ben net als de grote meerderheid van de studenten vaak aan de bar te vinden. ;) Zij het op het sportcentrum of in de stad.. Al heb ik daar niet echt problemen mee. haha

A: Bread with cheese&mustard or PB, greek yoghurt & muesli, oatmeal smoothies. Q: Is it true cannibals don’t eat clowns because they taste funny?

That would be coffee, but for some reason I don't think that would be a very good idea right now. But I just ate some ham&cheese toasties. Time to hit the sack! Thanks for the great idea's all! I'm sure going to try some of them when I'm in trouble again lol (read: no ice cream).

:devil: You two are evil. Pure evil! But got me laughing though lol

I had dinner, twice, nearly 400gr of chicken filet. lol.. Mexican burritos (so good!). And I always take a whey shake directly after swimming. Add some eggs, greek yoghurt, bread with PB to it and you're easily hitting 180.

I'm getting hungrier the longer I'm watching this topic.. :sad:

Feel the love. :heart:

Cheese is on the menu. and little over 3000, why?

I'll tell you, they taste fantastic. Wanna trade some of your ice cream thing for my ice cubes? I bet you're going to love them.

PBJ's, as in peanut butter jelly toasted sandwich? (I'm Dutch, not very familiar with these abbrev.) Sir, you just gave me this brilliant idea. Ham&cheese toasted sandwich, with ketchup, no milk.

I know. I know. I do have ice...cubes. Does that count?

A: Hard. Okay, let's not go there. Q: How would you successfully become a Justin Bieber fan?

I don't have any ice cream!

Is that a mankini you're wearing?

A bit taller I guess, although I'm very happy with my current height of 175cm (5'9"). Average is just over 180cm I think..

You, miss, did indeed give the right answer. Hoora! Hoora! Hoora!

I agree that ratios can get goofy/lead to weird results. I've always converted the g/kg protein to what % I would need. With my current ratio's that's about exactly 1.4gr/kg on rest days and 1.8gr/kg on training days. Which is what you're both suggesting. Thanks!

Why so much protein? The health centre of my country (the Netherlands) advises 1.2 - 1.4gr protein per kg of body mass for my activity level. Which would be about 100gr on rest days. For body builders the advise is 1.7 - 1.8gr, but I don't consider myself a body builder, swimming is rather endurance. You're suggesting me…

Depends on the duration of swimming. But generally speaking about 3200-3500cal on swimming days, 2500 on rest days.
