Thoughtful Eating

I've been wondering if I need to change my diet. With training for triathlons and trying to help my body recover as quickly as possible between workouts, it seems like a good idea to at least consider what role nutrition may need to play. More fruits and veggies would definitely be good. Consuming protein in small bits throughout the day instead of all in one big chunk at dinner. Less sugar. Staying well hydrated. I actually heard of one athlete who switched to salads for breakfast to avoid the heavy, logy feeling that traditional American breakfast foods can cause. A big bowl of spinach first thing in the morning is not a leap I'm ready to make, but eating Rice Chex with raisins and milk every day may not be serving me well either. I just want to eat things that are yummy and help me reach my goals. So I'm going to have to start researching and thinking about my diet.
