Unfortunately for me there are a few other very compelling factors. Money and time. I'm out of the house very early to climb/train before being to work at 9. It is hard to put together a good lunch while in a hurry and eat a healthy breakfast (cereal requires little money, time, or thought!). Piece 2 is money. It seems like eating healthy is "generally" more expensive, although there are ways around this. I guess I need to be creative. So, in summary, for me it comes down to: filling up with less calories as described in this post, overcoming psysiological cravings, and finding cheap easy solutions.<BR/><BR/>My question revolves around cheap easy solutions. Anyone have any bright ideas for healthy and low calorie per volume lunches that are easy, quick and inexpensive to throw together?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-4476276653818534292008-10-21T09:23:00.000+01:002008-10-21T09:23:00.000+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-85328864372514556222007-10-19T10:17:00.000+01:002007-10-19T10:17:00.000+01:00Hi Lexy, I don't think the difference between the ...Hi Lexy, I don't think the difference between the weight of muscle and fat is so important. Carrying excess of either is bad for climbing! Training and diet activities geared towards climbing should be aimed at being lean and having only what is functionally needed of both tissue types.Dave MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442169589581067050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-36461734238979131272007-10-16T15:11:00.000+01:002007-10-16T15:11:00.000+01:00Personally I don't believe in any 'fad' diets. Sur...Personally I don't believe in any 'fad' diets. Sure they may initially help in weight loss but they don't help in keeping your weight off, or for any long-term eating habits. The best thing i found is to totally change your lifestyle and eating behaviour. Small things like if you're prone to snacking then do it with some nuts (takes only a few to fill you up), a friend of mine swears by popcorn, not the butter stuff you microwave but popping it from seed. It's high in fibre, very low in calories and best of all it tastes nice and fills you up.<BR/><BR/>Also I definitely agree with Dave that it all depends on your behaviour - what to eat when, especially if you're training hard. Mind you saying all that i've still got a few kilos that just won't shift... well, I am training quite a bit right now, always wondered just how much heavier muscle is compared to fat?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-62692661873854170382007-09-14T21:05:00.000+01:002007-09-14T21:05:00.000+01:00My friend has been using the abs diet which seems ...My friend has been using the abs diet which seems to be working for him but after looking into it myself I don't really agree with the use of Whey powder. <BR/>I think you can get caught up in calorie counting which causes you to miss out on other foods which you body needs.<BR/>Is they use of whey powder not jusy a cheat on building muscel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-82231267216452359362007-06-13T13:58:00.000+01:002007-06-13T13:58:00.000+01:00The Weight Watchers Core Plan focuses on these 'co...The Weight Watchers Core Plan focuses on these 'core foods' that fill you up per calorie than other foods.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273516801104431230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-21196203450465883142007-06-13T11:10:00.000+01:002007-06-13T11:10:00.000+01:00Ta.BTW congratulations on the Gore Tex deal.

By counting calories accurately for a couple of weeks (using fitday) I had to face up to and acknowledge what I was actually eating and the energy values associated with that food.<BR/><BR/>2. By being on a strict diet for a couple of weeks (a bowl of cereal for each of two meals and then a normal other meal per day) I came to understand that:<BR/>a. I was snacking much more than I consciously realised, reinforcing what I'd learned from point 1, and<BR/>b. Breaking the diet rules made me understand that a lot of the time the reason for wanting the snack where physiological rather than actual hunger.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps more serious athletes have seen and understood all of the above years ago but for me it's been an important step to understand my own actions and their effect on my weight.<BR/><BR/>There where times however, I guess esp. when I was training too, when any kind of food other than something with energy just did not hit the spot. I could eat as many bloody carrots as I liked but some dried fruit were always much more effective at taking the edge off the desire for food. It felt like my body had a craving for something with some kind of sugar in it. It felt like a craving but I was never sure if it was psychological, an actual energy deficiency or just my body doing cold turkey from a lifetime of sugar based products.<BR/><BR/>P.s. can't wait for your article .. knowledge is power and anything which helps our understanding of how our bodies work and how we can adjust our behaivour to effect change has got to be a good thing. I'd be interested to learn more about quantities of carbs before/after training too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-60420758123988431892007-06-12T12:14:00.000+01:002007-06-12T12:14:00.000+01:00No, there's rarely a need to keep track of numbers...No, there's rarely a need to keep track of numbers, but it helps a few people psychologically. All I've ever noted is a rough mental picture of whether my weight was stable at a given food intake and activity level. Make a sustained adjustment in either and change in weight is inevitable.<BR/><BR/>Calorie counting is only for the few - those who feel a psycholocial benifit to counting numbers or those squeezing the last few percent of body fat out. For everyone else - stick to focusing on the behaivoural tactics.Dave MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442169589581067050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-7747444129138118392007-06-12T08:19:00.000+01:002007-06-12T08:19:00.000+01:00Surely to achieve a good balance you need to accur...Surely to achieve a good balance you need to accurately know your calorie intake (online food diarys such as FitDay help) and calorie expenditure. <BR/><BR/>Without wearing a heart rate monitor all day it is hard to know your exact calorie expenditure.

I've already been asked in an earlier post about how to manage this and I'm writing an article on it now...<BR/><BR/>But the bottom line is to time your eating well - You MUST eat carbohydrate before and imediately after your sessions in order to maintain performance and recover quickly. outside of these crucial times you can restrict calories a little more. The main pitfalls are trying to lose weight too fast by agressive calorie restriction leading to exhaustion and bingeing, eating too much fat and not enough CHO and restricting calories when you need them most.<BR/><BR/>Most climbers will restrict calories at times when it's not appropriate, then ruin it all by drinking 4 pints of lager just as its time to think about applying the calorie restriction!Dave MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442169589581067050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31845824.post-80180068318117758932007-06-11T19:00:00.000+01:002007-06-11T19:00:00.000+01:00Interesting post.

I have always wondered how dieting and calorie restriction meshes with the high physical activity and power/strength required for hard climbing in someone who is already fit. I have notices a severe loss in performance when I am not eating properly and would be interested in your thoughts on how to balance the calorie requirements needed for hard climbing/training along with weight loss for optimal body composition.<BR/><BR/>-JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
