The USA swimmers are becoming experts on nutrition.
Ryan Murphy did an interview with GQ magazine about his diet. Ryan said he made a special smoothie that he drank after workouts. He said it worked wonders for him, and he did not have a bad workout in 3 months. He did confess to liking sweets, and after the Olympics were over, he gorged on desserts and gained 8 pounds.
Smoothies are one of the best nutrient food one can absorb to get energy – i drink them often , even and especially if i invest in intense activities .
More like any elite/Olympic type athletes are experts in nutrition. High level athletes know exactly what they have to eat to help 100 percent recover so their body can get as strong as possible
