Some advice on food from Luis Tavares:
"My advice for making a good glycogen storage is that, from Monday to Wednesday on the week of the race, you avoid carbohydrates (pasta, potato, etc) replacing then with proteins (meat, eggs, etc). So, from Thursday until Saturday, eat just carbohydrates. Why should you adopt this strategy? Because when you stop eating carbohydrates and continue your training, you extinguish your storage and, when you resume eating carbohydrates, you increase the carbohydrate storage to a much higher level than the usual."
Pastas: Macaroni, Spaghetti, Noodles, Ravioli
Dried beans: Lima, beans, Navy beans, Kidney beans
Rice: Brown rice, Wild rice, White rice, polished or unpolished
Breads: Rolls, Muffins, Crackers, Sliced breads, Pancakes
Veggies: Dried peas, split peas, LentilsBlack-Eyed peas, starchy Vegetables, potatoes, carrots, corn, sweet potatoes
Cereals: Hot cereals (like oatmeal), Cold cereals (like wheat flakes) & Avoid highly sugared cereals
