      Avoiding Wheat

      I try to avoid wheat whenever I can - I just feel better. I don't know where to buy the SWG breads that you talk about - I don't know if the people at the grocery store will know what that is.

      Thanks Chia Your point makes sense - I am still getting my head around how much is a 'serving ' when it comes to veg but overall I am loving the ability to eat well and enjoy so much good food. I am also learning how to use the recipes to alter and adapt some of my own favourites - for example Tuna salad can also be tuna with onion and tom puree and lemon juice rather than mayo - makes two options in a week. Is any one else adapting? Valerie 88

      Reply To: Best evening and morning meal before tennis match

      Hi, Fernbank. Your pattern looks excellent for the night and morning before. You can just swap out foods for the food groups you have there - i.e. the night before: rice for pasta, fish for chicken, etc., and the morning of: cereal with milk or yogurt, fruit, and nuts or an egg or an egg with toast, cheese or yogurt, and fruit, etc. For during-match snacks, bananas are popular, along with plenty of water, of course - fruits in general are good, but banana has the highest amount of potassium. You can also take fruit/vegetable shakes, which can also add calcium and magnesium if you add greens (note that adding protein or fat is not recommended until the post-game recovery period).
