[...] Raw Food Diet: I went raw for a while last year to see how my body would react. I am by no means a raw foodist now, but experienced enough profound benefits to see that there is something to it. The experience changed my diet forever. I would say my diet is now consistenly 30% raw, and some days I go mostly raw just for the heck of it. The biggest lasting changes are 1) I eat a lot more fruit now, especially tropical fruits 2) I eat a lot more greens, especially wheatgrass and 3) I snack on raw nuts quite a bit. [...]

I think when u are training that intensely these rules change a little. When I was training for Ironman Canada a few years ago (as a Vegan) I snacked all the time. I had to in order to get enough calories. That said, for a person who is just trying to get really fit and have lots of energy, with a less intense amount of exercise (<10 hour per week), I think snacking can be detrimental.

Red Bull counts only if you turn green from drinking too many!

As for the snacking comment, my found that when I was racing and training I was snacking more often. This was when I doing 20 to 23 hours of training per week. During racing season, I would drop down to 16 to 18 hours per week.

Does Red Bull count as a “green drink”?
