Training Challenge - podcast part 1, nutrition discussion

I've grown a reputation at work for stinking out the tearoom with my eggs and tuna

Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone! There's still a while to go, but the journey has been encouraged by player's support at the pool - a lot of people must be reading the forum and even applying changes to their own training and lifestyles.

Ok, food on the run.
One tactic that works really well is utilizing a 'slow cooker' we call them Croc Pots here.

Very basically load it up with veges, stock, meat (cheap cuts like gravy beef), seasoning.
Turn it on, leave overnight. And there you go - meals for a weeks lunches.
Do that 3 times for a constant supply.

We pack these meals in sandwich bags. Servings about the size of your fist only. And freeze.
Take two or three to work and microwave when needed. Presto a work meal in 3mins thats good for you. And budget friendly!

Hope that helps.

Good suggestion Carl, I'll look into it. I think we may even have one lying around somewhere in the flat...

ah, the bliss of domestic organisation...

What do I do for food on the run when I have:

no job
no flat
no fridge
no croc pot
and the organisational skills of a howler monkey on crack?

Wonder how and why you access the internet to ask questions about organising your food when, instead, you should focus on solving your first 3 'challenges' ?

He's got you there. LOL!

I know, leave the country. Find a nice clean, pretty country, full of lovely people to live in.

Nah man, I consider having no job and no rent to pay definitions of success!



The fridge is an issue though... Maybe I could carry one around on my back, that'd be good training.
