And now for a bit of personal culinary organization. All recipes contained within this blog will fit nicely into one of 4 categories.
Foundation: A health conscious recipe that can be used at almost any meal. Like the name implies, these dishes or the like should make up the majority of your daily calories. Each dish has the appropriate ratio of carbs/fats/protein for an endurance athlete
Recovery: These meals are meant to be eaten after a difficult training session or competition to efficiently restore glycogen to the muscles. They are usually either able to be quickly prepared or reheated so there is no waiting around after the event.
Specialization: An item that has a specific nutritional purpose, such as something that can be taken in your pocket while training, or a dish that amplifies one of the nutritional categories such as protein or a specific mineral to make up any deficit that may occur to the athlete.
Celebration: While not unhealthy, these meals are meant to be reserved for special occasions, perhaps after a particularly difficult training session or a podium finish for yourself or a teammate. They may contain slightly more sugar or fat than the other categories. At the same time they are made from little processed foods are a healthy alternative to the fast food milkshake.
