Nutrition
Breakfast - Scrambled eggs with peppers and mushrooms wrapped in a corn tortilla. Gives me Carbs, protein and veg, everything I need in my breakfast. Plus it's delicious!
Morning snack (kept in my jacket pocket so I can eat it while going up the ski lift. That way I don’t miss any training time!) - Get Buzzing bar, my favourite flavour is Wowbutter.
Lunch - Mixed salad from the salad bar at the mountain lodge. They have a really good selection of veg, meat, pasta salads and all sorts so it’s easy to get a variety of colours.
Afternoon snack - Recovery shake to give me protein for muscle recovery and carbs for replenishing energy stores
Second afternoon snack - Protein shake after the gym session to help my muscles recover and grow.
Dinner - Protein and lots of vegetables so something like Grilled salmon and roasted mixed veg.
