Exercise Nutrition for Plant-Based Athletes
Nutrition is an integral component to any athlete's quiver of performance, yet it's often underestimated or neglected. One of the main goals of Thought For Food is to change the paradigm on nutrition in the sports world by helping athletes think about food to maximize performance, health, and compassion, while doing away with fad diets, misinformation, and disordered eating. The thought that going plant-based or vegan can't be done as an athlete is still a widespread myth. We both get a lot of questions regarding how to eat around exercise as a plant-based athlete.
This episode covers the basics of what to eat before, during, and after training or racing in a pretty general manner. It's primarily dedicated to endurance athletes, since that's what Aaron and Jackson have the most experience with. However, a lot of the information we provide can be applied to most sports. There's no way we could cover everything on this topic in an hour, but we definitely plan on revisiting this area in plenty of future episodes. Some of the things we hit include:
Foods and practices for morning workouts
How to fuel properly during exercise
Does rinsing your mouth with carbohydrate increase performance?
Our hydration tips
How to recover properly in order to maximize adaptations
Thanks to everyone who have submitted questions, we're getting ready for our first Q&A episode coming soon! We'd love to answer yours so feel free to email us at [email protected]. We're so excited about all of the positive feedback. If you're feeling extra generous today, leave us a review on the iTunes page to help us rise higher on the rankings and reach more people! Keep spreading the love and the good word about TFF and it means a lot to see our fans growing all around the world.
Thanks for listening, go eat some plants, and what's your thought for food?
