Light foods

I had some crackers before training this evening. Crackers is a slow-release carbohydrate, said LA. So, I tried this evening. I had about 4 pieces, washed down with a mouthful of fresh milk and a tall glass of water. I felt fine as my stomach was not too full for actions and not to empty for training. Just nice.

After the training, I took an orange, and 5 pieces of crackers with sweet coconut jam or kaya. More carbohydrate and sugar. Yeah sugar, good for my brain to work on blogs and trouble-shooting some hardware problem for my client. Here starts the night of the day!

Dinner for training

January 4th, 2008 at 9:18 · Filed Under Blogging, Diet, Health, Karate · Comment 

Since the opening of the dōkōkai in November, my dinner on weekdays are usually post training. Sometimes I continued my training after the class and I would be home around 10 or 10:30pm. It is rather late for dinner but LA had kept some food for me. I felt very difficult to sleep after the dinner even though I did not eat too much. I know this is bad for health but there is an empty stomach. So, I would continue working on computer to let the food be digested a little. But I will usually linger until midnight or pass midnight before going to bed.

Yesterday, I changed my pattern to try it out. I had my dinner before the training. Not a full dinner but it certainly did not feel good during the first part of the training. I guess I will have to have my dinner a little earlier, about 5 to avoid a full stomach during the training at 7.

I had a grapefruit and 6 slices of breads last night after the training. I felt much better but I slept at 2am because I was updating my blog.

Or perhaps, some light food and fruits before training and bread after training will be better off. I should try this today.
