What will the team eat?

Breakfast

As the most important meal of the day, it is important that breakfast contains as much energy-giving carbohydrate as possible. Porridge is simply oats with hot water and sugar added to it. We have decided to use Power Porridge which also contains a whole range of multigrains and seeds to give us extra fibre, minerals and vitamins that are vital to our well-being and performance.

Lunch

It is too cold to stop in the middle of the day for a single meal. Instead we graze throughout the day on a range of high-carbohydrate, high-fat foods to give us plenty of energy. Sesame Snaps have the highest concentration of fat and carbohydrate we could find in a lightweight snack. We will also be eating popcorn, chocolate, salted peanuts and banana chips.

Dinner

We use dehydrated meals in a foil pouch which just need hot water added to them before eating. That means no bowls, no cooking pots and no washing up! Fuizion have specially prepared home-cooked dehydrated meals for the team which contain extra fat and protein as well as using Halal meat. They are the only producer of Halal dehydrated meals we could find anywhere in Europe!

Nutrition Supplements

These are the team’s secret weapon. With a lack of fresh fruit and vegetables in our diet, the team will not be getting usual amounts of minerals and vitamins while at the same time pushing their bodies to the extreme limits of endurance. Therefore we replenish our reserves with Healthspan nutritional supplements ranging from Glucosamine (for healthy joints) to zinc, magnesium and antioxidents.
