Diet

Diet is very important for all athletes, and the main components of my diet are as follows:

Breakfast
50g bowl of wholewheat muesli with semi skimmed milk
2 x slices of wholemeal toast with either honey or nutella spread
1 x glass of not from concentrate orange juice
1 x cup of tea

Snacks
A handful of almonds
A handful of pistachio nuts
40g of dry roasted peanuts
1 x Jordan's honey and almond bar
1 x banana
1 x flapjack
2 x squares of dark chocolate (min 70% cocoa)

Lunch
Turkey and salad sandwich made with wholemeal bread
1 x apple
100g of white seedless grapes

Dinner (post training)
Steamed salmon or tinned tuna
Steamed basmati wholegrain rice
Frozen mixed veg or frozen sweetcorn (80g)

At the weekends I try to have 2 fried eggs on wholemeal toast late Saturday morning and after my training run/race on a Sunday I will have a jacket potato with cheese, baked beans and salad.
