Reading: SPORTS DIETS Chrissie Wellington - triathlete
The British triathlete Chrissie Wellington cycles,
runs and swims every day. She wants to be the
best. But being a champion is not only about
training - good nutrition is also important.
When she's training Chrissie starts her day with
her first breakfast. She has a banana and some rice
cakes. After training, she eats a second, bigger
breakfast of cereal, nuts and yoghurt
For lunch Chrissie combines carbohydrates and
protein. She often has a baked potato, bread or
brown rice with fish, meat or other proteins like
pulses. On the side is o salad or some vegetables.
She finishes with cereal and nuts or fruit.
Every evening Chrissie eats fish or white meat
(such as chicken). She has red meat once a week
Vegetables are always on her evening menu,
together with rice or pasta. After that, dessert is a
bowl of cereal and fruit.
Chrissie doesn't say no
to anything! Chocolate,
cakes, pizza - everything
is OK if she doesn't eat
a large amount of it.
On competition days
she starts with rice,
cereal and coffee. Then
she doesn't eat or drink
anything else - apart from
water - until she's competing.
She eats and drinks special
energy products during the triathlon
and she tries to keep hydrated by drinking water
Immediately after the race she needs to eat! She
eats high energy, high-fat food like chips, pizza
and burgers. Then it's time to relax!
