My trainer as said that for the week before I race i should eat
Less than 20% fat of total calorie intake, 50% carbs and 30% protein
Now then, does anyone know how I can find out the fat, carb and protein content of the food that I eat?
Thanks

Not sure where you live but all packaged foods have this info on the label here in Australia. I'm sure fresh foods have it somewhere on the web although for many it's pretty obvious whether it's mostly carbs, protein or fat. We have a ready reckoner for our members but I doubt it'd be hard to track down something similar somewhere.tigerocket wrote:Now then, does anyone know how I can find out the fat, carb and protein content of the food that I eat?0 -
I don't really eat packaged or prepared food hence why i asked,
what what your advice be on the composition of my diet?0 -
7-10g of carbs per kg of body mass per day (assuming a pre race diet loading). Protein maybe 15% of that. Fat - don't care as long as you are eating a normal healthy diet.
But don't take my word for it:

check out www.calorie-count.com provides pretty exhaustive lists of food fresh, packaged and fast.

Fitday is a very good product if you are a nerd like me. (I use the downloaded program which is quite cheap and only drawback is the US food db)

I track everything at weightlossresources.com
It has a huge UK food database and the ability to set loss or maintenance targets. You can also add your calories burned off through exercise too.
It's a pay service (one or two days free) but it is worth it for me. The numbers do not lie.0 -
A free website I have started using for the past few days is:

As I said free to register and seems really good to me.0
