I always thought I could eat what I wanted you under the notion that I must burn an absolute shit load of calories at work, which I do according to my step monitor iPhone thing...but it’s obviously not the case. I'm fairly sure that as muscles become "fitter" they become more efficient. Kent will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to try and get to half iron man this year which is in june so I’ll just add to my distances which I’m doing now. So to answer your question it all depends on fitness and distance I would think the majority of those doing the Bolton Iron Man will be training 5-6 Days a week with some of those days being 3-4 hours long! Very time consuming. Some of the lads wives who have done itbcall themselves Ironman widows. You can see why Blimey - that's one hell of a sprint. I'd be knackered after the swim. I have an extremely inefficient style where I have to put in a shit ton of effort to move any kind of distance! I reckon I could manage the bike and the running part with a some training. Fair play to you though if you're thinking if stepping it up from there! Bloody hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Although the denser your muscle is the more calories you'll burn naturally when you're at rest. I'm not sure it would burn calories at a different rate. We see a lot of people at work who've done physical jobs all their lives and then retire and put on a shit load of weight relatively quickly because they're still eating for what they needed for heavy grafting. The Jamie Pollock diet if you will! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had an expert on who reckoned it was essentially a carbohydrate with little nutritional value. Be just as well having a pasty barm.

Smiley Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Managed Park Run on Saturday. Another 5km run on Sunday. And a home HIIT/boxing session last night. Gym this afternoon. Going to hurt. Was hoping to swap out potatoes for parsnips & carrots this month..... but that's backfired. Parsnips contain even more carbs and sugar! Probably why I like them so much. Learn something new each day. Had a gander on Google for alternatives - found a list of low carb veg here. Back to Brocolli and Cauliflower rice again. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/21-best-low-carb-vegetables#section1 Edited January 8, 2019 by Smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would warn to not necessarily rely on the barcode bringing up the correct product/nutritional values so to double check the packet.
