What is the typical diet of an endurance athlete?

An athlete’s diet should be similar to that recommended for the general public, with energy intake divided into
•more than 55 per cent from carbohydrates
•about 12 to 15 per cent from protein
•less than 30 per cent from fat.

Moderate to high GI foods and fluids may be the most beneficial during exercise and in the early recovery period.

A high-carbohydrate meal three to four hours before exercise is indeed to have a positive effect on performance.

Rapid replacement of glycogen is important after the exercise.
Carbohydrate rich foods and fluids should be consumed after exercise, particularly in the first one to two hours after exercise.

Water is a great choice of fluid for athletes to help performance and prevent dehydration.

Include foods like wholegrain breads and cereals, vegetables (particularly leafy green ), fruit, lean meat and low-fat dairy products to enhance long term nutrition habits and behaviours.

Meteors

Meteors

The first thing that comes to your mind about meteors is a falling star or a shooting star. Then, you wish for some good things you want to come true. They are called meteoroids when they're in space floating; meteors when they enter the atmosphere; and meteorites when they hit the earth. If meteors could do something aside from falling to earth, that would be to nag about being mistaken as a star. Who would ever like to have a mistake identity? They are streaks of lights but they are not stars.
