Student becomes the master

By Virginia Winder
A journalism student with a double-degree in exercise prescription and management, plus sport and leisure reckons I should be eating more.
I was asking her about hitting a weight-loss plateau and what nutrition advice she'd learnt at university.
"What snacks are you having?" she asked over lunch at Sandwich Extreme.
"None, really," I said.
That's apparently the problem.
She recommends six small meals a day rather than three large ones. Also, I need to up my protein and drop my carbohydrates, which I knew.
It's interesting how our New Zealand diet is based so much around bread, rice, potatoes and other starchy foods. And I love them all, but haven't been indulging a lot.
However, it's time to do some more research and interview an expert or two.
On that note, I've got deadlines pending and a mega-early morning.
So, hi-ho, hi-ho, off to bed I go...

Today, I:
Swam 60 lengths of a 25-metre pool
Ate two meals (ran out of time for breakfast - not good!)
Drank 2 cups of coffee
Drank hardly any water
Slept for 6 hours
Worked for 9 hours
