WHAT WE EAT IN A DAY: pro triathlete nutrition + diet
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Hey everyone! We're Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay! We're professional triathletes, racing and training for a living.
We have listened to all of your requests. Here's our completely unplanned, unscripted video about our nutrition for a day. We're eating slightly less right now than we would during "heavy training" in a few weeks, but you can get the idea. We don't feel counting calories is necessary on a day to day basis, but it's not a bad idea to check in with things from time to time to make sure you're close to balancing your energy output to input. Even if you're trying to lose weight, having more than a 500 calorie deficit per day can drastically affect your training performance for the worse. If you've got questions for us, let us know, we'll do our best to answer everything!
Please subscribe and hit the like button if you liked the video, it means a lot and we're putting out videos every week! Any questions at all that you have, fire away.

Paula's background reaction to Eric's nutrition plan is exactly how my wife reacts when I talk about this stuff. She secretly loves it, but gives me sass.
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 🕊❤️
"they're not like my favorite beans of all time, i'd say maybe like a 7, good execution though", Paula's morning sass is next level
Alex Shih She picked the beans out 😂
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a way to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Kairo Rayden Instablaster =)
@Robert Gerardo I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Robert Gerardo it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
Regarding Ms. Findlay's comment about a sponsor "not wanting to talk to me". It would be great to see a video on the "in's and out's" of sponsorship.....and how you approach that part of your training.
As a home roaster and coffee geek, I appreciate the set up. Loving the great content in your videos. Keep posting!
Maybe an episode about personal finance of professional triathletes? I know you briefly mentioned in another episode that sponsorships are harder to come by now a days without a large social media following. Have you been contributing to a 401k your whole career? How much do you have to spend on gear and things the normal person doesn't have to buy to do their job? Just some ideas, love the vlogs :)
You guys should get a Ninja. That thing can make smoothies, salsa, everything. You'd use it every day.
Paula's morning filming stoke level: 😐. 😂 Great vid as always, loved the nutri bullet hack 🔪 🤣
Let’s go!!! I used to vlog every day and then life got busy and I stopped. I got into Ironman a couple years ago and through watching your vids I have wanted to get back into the game. Created a full week or Ironman training video that goes live today! Thanks for the inspiration my man !
So kind of a difficult topic to bring up. But i‘ve started doing loads of workouts a week to get to Ironman capacity. I‘ve not seen content anywhere (neother podcasts nor youtube channels ) on the impact of so much sports on Libido. I don‘t know what you guys can share here but anything will be useful.
pierre njeim great question. I find it’s actually a great indicator of overreaching for me. If I’m not interested, it’s very likely I’m doing too much training and not properly recovering. And for perspective, I have two kids work a full time job and aim for 15-18 hrs training per week.
Grwt job with this guys... keep at it!
pierre njeim thanks!
hey man, this video is really fckng well done, good for you guys. kick ass!
Love it; makes me miss you both. Next level; Vitamix for you I can see. Love to watch this.❤️🍮🥗🌮 healthy life!
Hey guys. I really like your videos. You guys are inspirational because you are down to earth. Greetings and good luck
What is your caffeine intake regular days vs race.( I am a coffee addict) As caffeine is the #1 bladder irritant , I stop it a couple of days pre race . All to prevent me from peeing every 15minutes race day and during the race. Will take in Coke and Red Bull the second half of the run during race day . Caffiene is in all the energy drinks , gels etc. Looking forward to your coffee video 😜
Just discovered your channel and been checking out the videos. Super quality stuff. Love the editing, the “normalness” of your life. You two just work well together! Thanks for sharing your life!
Great video. I am wondering how long you wait after breakfast before doing a (hiit) run or whether you eat differently then
I truly look forward to every episode. I'm a tri nerd and I geek out on all of these. I love the realness/authenticity of your videos and life.
Awesome content guys😍🎉
Thanks :)
Wait is that Paula w the B roll footage too ??? Mind = Blown
I am a videographer now
great job! its interesting to see what all the pros eat
Every Sunday, post long run this is on and forces me to stretch for 10 minutes...Great content and videography! Keep em coming and don't forget...coffee first always!
Thanks for watching!! Except it takes about 15minutes for the espresso machine to warm up... so coffee second ;)
Great vid 👍🏻 as a former unsponsored pro runner, I can't say enough how relatable the Nutribullet part was 🤣
Subscribed!
Great video. I’ve always wondered how much laundry and how many showers pro triathletes have/take.
Haha, usually laundry every other day, since our clothes are so sweaty. Eric is pretty good about hanging up his dripping wet bibs instead of throwing them in the laundry basket :D. Shower after mostly every workout unless we're going swimming right after. 1-2x/day
Just saw Paula some minutes ago at Watopia :D
But such a nice video again, really like these pro insights of the daily life :)
Jakob our pleasure! Yep we’re on zwift for one more week before we head to sunshine camp :)
Those tacos look delicious! Thanks for the great job every week guys! #espressolovers
I'm loving that you guys are coffee snobs. Is that a rocket? I've been looking into one for a bit but I keep buying bike parts. Still Loving my gaggia.
Hi, how much stretching do you do ? p.s. love your videos.
Love it. Also want more cat footage
Victoria Anderson I added A TON of cat footage at the end for all you cat fans hahaha MORE?!
I think we'll strap a GoPro to the psycho cat for the next video.
@@ThatTriathlonLife I loved the footage at the end but also really liked all the random kitty shots throughout
Love the real view of being a professional triathlete your videos and social media shows. I love following you two.
I just came across your guys’ channel as I’m training for my first sprint triathlon (I’m 52☺️) and I liked your relaxed no nonsense way approach but that me because I too eat freely for the most part. Still good to keep track & monitor for sure. It helps to know what helps & what doesn’t. I’ll be watching more. Thanks.
It’s not in this video but we made the Mexican quinoa you made in one of your videos. I put it into a roasted bell pepper. Yum!
I hope someone from Nutribullet sees this and sends you a new one
This is standard for NutriBullet
@@michaelkennedy9031 we hope someone from Vitamix sees this and we can get one of those hahah
this is such a fun vlog!... i mean... you don't even have to do diferent things everytime and all... just doing what you do is for me and probably a lot of people already so diferent, because we live in diferent countries, and live in a diferent ways! thanks for the vlog! so fun...
I just found your videos and i have to admit I’m hooked
Playing with bullets and knifes in one shot😂
Great vid!
A new Lagerstrom and Sanders video make my day! :)
I’m curious, have you guys considered a keto diet? Especially since triathlon require a lot of endurance?
Honestly, we haven’t. But we’re going to be addressing some more in-detail nutrition, training stuff like this in a future project we’re cooking up ;)
What’s the point of using almond milk with the “whey protein “ that’s originally come from real cows milk?
Maybe to consume less fat?
Can you do another one of these 2021 version??
Yeah I think it’s about due for an update 🤔
I love the fact you use the regular priced items and not that expensive stuff that some people use from some exotic country... I do the same and it works just as good. Love y'alls blog 💝
thank you for the upload brother. Looking forward. New Sub here.
Loving your espresso machine, what brand model is? ;)
You guys make food prep look way more interesting than it actually is. :) Thanks for the behind the scenes stuff. You're officially my new favorite Tri vlog.
Really very useful. Thank you for the advice !
As a Scotsman i wish I contest this stuff but my body would reject it or i could not stomach it as my diet is so poor even though I run most days
Awesome! Thank you.
Must have a Vitamix. Those Tacos look good though.
Goals!
These people are super down to Earth and relatable.
Stumbled upon your channel (and As I write this I’m not even sure of the date this video was made 🤣) but if you see this, I really love the channel already
haha thank you! I think you're about a year behind right now!
@@ThatTriathlonLife well then I have a lot of catching up to do. Lucky me
I had much higher expectations for that latte art, but I give the execution and performance 10/10 for fooling me 🤣🤣
haha this was VERY early days. Latte art has improved significantly :)
Great videos, you have a knack for making them laid back but never boring...
Thank you! Exactly what we’re going for.
Your channel is so wholseome, winning me over :) Wil lbe following you guys progress during the double tweny for sure! Coming to Challenge Championships to Slovakia in 31st of May?
Paula is currently in position to be on the "International" squad, and I'm not far off of qualifying, so we'll probably see you there!
@@ThatTriathlonLife due to the Collins cup is the pros race only the 30th, they won't be racing the championships then? 🤔 Didn't get the full handle of things..
Definitely do more of these! I was super interesting and gives me good ideas too.
WOOO! Content! Love you guys.
Jason Hall 🙏
@Paula, try the fruit punch EFS, much better then Lemon Lime...
Thanks, I will!
Not bad, you make meals seem easy, my nutritionist makes mine much harder
Well, we could certainly stress about it a lot more and get way fancier, but at a certain point it has to be sustainable and at least somewhat enjoyable :)
Put vinegar in water mix then pour into the nutrabullet on those whte pegs and rinses so that you do not have to use the knife in the future. This will lossen it up.
I liked your content a lot! I have been trying to research for video similar to yours that educates the stuff in this vid! 🩺Your vid really is like the content from this educational medical student Doctor Ethan. His tips are knowledgable and I learned a lot for my school! He is the most knowledgable med student on TH-cam and he teaches conditions and health symptoms!
Go check his TH-cam out and give the Dr a like here! ➡️ #DoctorEthanStudent
Crisis😐! My nutribullet is exactly the same, use a fork or the end of kitchen utensils.. much safer as I sliced open my finger once and no swimming for a little while
the fatal design flaw of the nutribullet :( So awesome otherwise
I can’t help but notice that most professional triathletes have both: a) a mean home coffee game and b) a cereal addiction. PS: spend some of that TH-cam money on either a Vitamix or Ninja blender: it will change yours lives, we did the bullet struggle for years and it’s very real 🤙
Thanks for being real 💙
Hi Eric...i am new to triathlon, and after about 20+ years of never riding a bike I find it difficult going to the aero bars. 2 outdoor rides thus far and I haven't made it away from the brakes...safety first. Should I stick with it or buy a road bike...that way I can at least shift safely. Thanks...love the channel
Another great video guys!
isnt it ironic that you are trying to be ethical about what you consume and eat mostly organic stuff, but then you go and buy SodaStream, which is one of the most unethical companies ever, since it is based in the occupied territories in Palestine and it should be illegal, according to UN?
more videos like this please!! keep going !! congrats from Portugal
alright, will do!
you guys are way cool . Shout out from long island new york
Yo! Thanks man!
Nice coffee setup Eric. Very similar to mine.
stijndeklerk thank you! We’re in love with it, obviously ;) do you have a profitec or a rocket?
Hey Eric. I have the same grinder but a Bezerra Duo machine which has the same E61 groupset as your's. Your tamper and extraction looked pretty dialed in, nice. Btw, in case your interested, you guys seem to struggle a bit with blenders. I own a low-end Blendtec, some of the best money I ever spend.
And they wonder why they are injured... too much sugar!!! Sugar is inflammatory!! Bad nutrition and coaching... so sad!
Super cool video as usual I wish I was able to eat 1000 cals per meal I’m trying to lose 30lbs so I could do a little better in tremblant this summer. Be a little liter on the bike. Your training is amazing. Swimming outside in the winter.
Hello. 1 / Eric, can you provide the recipe for your training drink 2 / Paula, why do you train with a mirror in front of you? Thank you
Where did you get your clif bar beanie!?????!!!! I want one too!!!!!
they're only available for sponsored athletes :(
I am plant based and GF so defiantly can be difficult to sometimes be consistent and limited prepackaged vegan/plant based food.
More food related videos!
Great work, guys! Would love to see a follow up video of what you eat in a day during a heavy training load. Also, love Kickinghorse
Paula is my morning spirit animal, no one talk to me until 11am!! After my second breakfast...
Awesome videos, you earned yourself a subscriber!
Sweeeet 🤙 welcome!
When training ramps up and "training fatigue" starts to pop up, since it effects you both (neither is the "normal" - non triathlete- one in this relationship). How do you two keep from sparring too much?!
Paula! You're killing me! I keep laughing at your expressions.
What kind of snacks do you guys eat? Btw I love watching your vids!!
Stoked, stoked, stoked:)
Wow cutest couple !
Eric and Paula: I love the videos. I've been racing triathlons for about 10 years and have been following Paula since her killer ITU days and had an opportunity to hear her give a talk to the Ottawa Triathlon Club a couple of years ago. Obviously I'm not the only one that wants to see a video on your coffee habits. I love my espresso and coffee and would be great to have you geek out on that one week.
Hell yeah Argon 18, Ive a e117 and i love it
O W letsgoooo! Once you try one, you’re hooked 🤙
8:30 Whey protein isn't vegan either (I'm not vegan, just saying, don't care what people eat.)
Nope, we know. We’ve been experimenting with a few different types of protein trying to find what we like the best. I sort of dig pea protein, but it’s insanely expensive next to whey. Still need to do more research on bioavailability and all that
@@ThatTriathlonLife MyProtein do some really great vegan protein powders and blends - Also ones that don't taste like crap. 2 years ago, holy hell, vegan protein was terrible, now it's pretty good. I use it because milk based protein powder give me stomach problems. Anyway, my original seemed snappy on reflection but it wasn't supposed to be that way. I really enjoyed the vid - keep it up :)
@@ThatTriathlonLife Lentein is good,hemp goes with everything too. Cant get lentein in Australia at the moment though...
You have nice stuff :) Subscribed :)
Thank you! Welcome!
Who are all your sponsors? That would be an interesting video
The coffee looked delicious
Great team work and cooperation E&P...kinda makes me wonder when were gonna see a cute little red headed "LagerFin" running around?!
Nicely done! Question...and recommendations for soda streams? We are blowing through LaCroix like crazy.
ummm we just have the lowest end model.. I think they're pretty cheap and they just pressurize to one level. I think higher level models may have some options..? We don't even mix flavoring in, we just go raw bubbles ;)
So many great tips in here, thanks for the open insight
You’re welcome!
Perfect timing, as I just recently received/submitted a PTO questionnaire! Included in topics I'd be interested in: What Pro's eat throughout the day to sustain and energize multiple workouts, on an increasing exertion level.
Keep the video's coming!
Is that an insta360 one r? At 4:00
Mmhmm
why almond milk?
Holy crap at the way y'all throw olive oil into the mix.
I love watching your all video
awesome! Stoked to hear it
I like the EFS also, only thing I have found that is easy on the gut for long workouts/races
I can't watch this😂
Y'all eat waay more than I do
YEAH BUT WHAAT ARE YOUR MACROS?!
😂🤦♂️
I understand that ye are not doing a lot of volume but it seems like not alot of food do ye not be hungry during the day? I'm currently on low volume as well at the moment but can't stop eating!
we might have missed a few snacks (bars etc) throughout the day... and also we both had like 5 bowls of pasta. haha
What is the name of the coffee machine you have?
We’ve got a profitec pro500
