Re:Food on race day?
Porridge (Oatmeal) is definitely good: complex carbs.<br /><br />Fructose is not so good though. I assume you actually buy refined fructose when you say that, you don't mean you just add honey???<br /><br />It may sound good and natural but that's hype. It's not that great if you're talking about really getting the most out of your body (energy that is!!!): http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/0044.htm<br /><br />This site will answer all the questions asked here: http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/nutrition.htm

Re:Food on race day?
Avoiding fructose by not eating fruit? No thanks!<br /><br />Doesn't quite answer all my questions...<br /><br />Did you know that a high carbohydrate diet can give you a poor blood lipid profile and this might lead to risk of developing atherosclerosis or CHD? How can exercise prevent help protect against this?<br /><br />Sorry, just being a git!

Re:Food on race day?
You need both protein and carbs. I found out the hard way when I went hypoglycemic from eating just carbs. They turn straigt to sugar and can kinda thow your body into shock. Not real fun especially in a race. I like to eat oatmeal and eggs and maybe a power bar. I always hear its also what you eat like 2 or 3 days prior as well.
