Documentary | Food For Athletes

In this documentary, we dive into the importancy of food and nutrition for our athletes.

[@Abi_ebenezer]

I love how simple they eat, with just locally sourced food. No fancy running gels, packet carbohydrate.

[@jffilms5843]

[@CuanWalker]

Proud to have tasted all the foods here! Ugali isn’t my favourite and when in Kenya I would always substitute it with chapati!!! LOVE chapati. Injera also tasted really nice together with different meats. Great video guys!

[@wallstreetgambler9151]

lol i know most people dont like it cause its very basic. thats why we eat it with kale. try it with well-cooked kale and beef and guacamole every bite must have a little bit of everything.

[@radrunning8535]

Great documentary. Congrats!

[@sukanyar4373]

We eat similar to ugali which is called "Ragi kali" in the south of India, It is made of foxtail millet flour, and while the preparation method is the same ! . It is definitely a very nutritious & rich food. :)

[@sirleoreddy3003]

it is made of finger millet

[@roustabout4fun]

Enlightening....clean carbs for clean spark plugs and lots of ignition....Nutrition is interesting because as we get older...protein and healthy fats may play as big a role in life living and performance....and I think that carbs become more strategic as an active still running elder. Thank you for sharing and continued healthy eating as well as performance! God Bless.

[@yolandacroes5491]

So I searched for ugali and it turns out to be a type of polenta. In the Dutch Caribbean we call it funchi, made of yellow maize flour. It’s a traditional staple eaten with soups, stews, fish, etc. I can’t run like a Kenyan but I can eat somewhat like one 😄

how many calories and how much protein do they eat? do the runners snack a lot between meals too?

[@waterproof4403]

They eat a lot carbohydrates. A lot. They burn any calories they eat anyways

[@waterproof4403]

Their metabolism is ridiculous

[@iguillo]

I have to assume that they are taking in between 5,000 and 10,000 calories a day, depending upon what phase of training they're in.

What is better heat traning or altitude traning because my country have low altitude so what I do to have better perfotmance

[@BugattianVeyronian]

I'm not sure about this but some say you need heat + high humidity if you wanna achieve the same training effect as training in high altitude.

[@robinbauer1975]

Training is altitude is the best imo in Kenya(The rift valley) it was the best. Addis might be great aswell Heat training has almost no benefits beside you burning out faster

[@BugattianVeyronian]

@@robinbauer1975 while there's no scientific evidence but I think it's all about adaptation. It's the same as training in high altitude. When running in heat, your heart works harder to promote blood flow in order to dissipate heat hence needing more oxygen. Your body dissipate heat through sweat, the higher the humidity, the harder your sweat evaporates, that slows down the process of heat dissipation. That's why running in hot humid condition is hard. I would assume if an athlete is so used to running in this condition, he for sure can perform better in lower temperature. There's a phrase like this: "humidity is the poor man's altitude", I think there's a reason behind it.

This was tastefully shot and enjoyable to watch but it’s not a documentary about “food for athletes”, more like ugali, more ugali, some more ugali, lots more ugali, and here’s more ugali, and by the way some fancy athletes like Cheptegai also like some meat, greens, milk, “Irish potato”, and spaghetti too.

[@alexanderholm4289]

This is not a documentary, just a quick summary of the importance of carbohydrates for endurance....C'mon. This is top athletes we are speaking off! What about the importance to not just only get the right amount of carbohydrates, but also to get the right amount of total, daily energy? Where are the other high, nutritious sources? Eggs? Avocado? All fruits and vegeteables etc etc. Nutrition is not just about Ugali, rice, potatoes, Chapati, injera, bread etc. If an athelte just ate >90% carbs he/she certainly would be malnourished. Yes, Cheptegei mention a little bit about chicken and other protein sources efter harder session, but in total I was hoping for more...

[@CuanWalker]

You’d be surprised. This is very staple for many of the Kenyans. When I stayed in camp in Iten for 3 months this was literally what athletes ate day in and out. The Kenyan diet is very high in carbohydrates. That’s why when Kenyans retire from running they literally balloon in weight because of all the carbs. Athletes do eat fruit now and then but when I was there literally the only time I ever saw greens with any of the meals was a thing called sakuma wiki. That was had a lot of the time with ugali

[@natesilvers2166]

They DO eat 80% carbs and they are NOT malnourished. Ugali is corn and corn is a vegetable. Vegetables are the 2nd highest source of vitamins on this planet and the 1st highest source of minerals. Fruit being #1 for vitamins and #2 for minerals and you saw the bananas in the video. Rice is full of minerals and you add some greens you got your vitamins boosted too. People need to get off the western protein brainwashing put out by meat egg and dairy industries. They want us to believe we need to eat meat so we accept the horroedous treatment animals endure so we buy animal products and they profit off of the backs of innocent animals. If you want more info about what elite runners eat look up El Coyote Loco on here he runs 180 mile weeks barefoot up mountains, 13 min 5K guy. He eats 80% carbs all vegan and insists on low protein for recovery. He will have fresh squeezed OJ after workouts or watermelons.

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

@@natesilvers2166 That El Coyote guy is a classic case of vegan crash-and-burn. Veganism is an eating disorder that can boost performance for a few years as muscle and fat are stripped away, but as in his case it always ends badly, with a crater of injuries, emotional disorders, etc.. So glad I broke out of that cult, but it took decades to repair the damage and bad mental programming. There are good reasons why there are NO long-term vegan successful vegans on the athletic world scene. Jut dwindling talents that throw away their potential on a diet of malnutrition and fantasy. I finally healed fully through healthy whole animal meat, fish, eggs and dairy. I am now close to a world age record, with 100% mental and physical health for the first time. Animal foods are the bet source of bioavailable nutrients without the defensive pesticides and other toxins that all pllants have and can debilitate with neurological disease, cancer, heart disease, etc..

[@natesilvers2166]

@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 Wrong. Animal foods are full of toxic saturated fats, cholesterol, animal hormones, pesticides, IGF1 growth hormones. This video literally says "eat Ugali" not that shit you listed. These guys mostly eat vegan and they're the best in the world kamgine if they went 100% vegan. El Coyoto Loco has been running for 20 years and 15 years vegan he was not a flash in the pan athlete. He worked hard with mileage and veganism allowed him to do that. He didn't crash or burn at all he quit competitive running because he was at the top of what is possible naturally. He quit because he didn't want to inject like the other elites he was living and training with. It's meat eating that is the cult and those industries that do the mental programming. Looks like fallen for it hook line sinker whilst Kipchoge is eating Ugali everyday. Highest source of minerals is vegetables and the highest source of vitamins is fruit. Vice versa for 2nds Why are vegans winning races and events when they're such a tiny pool of the population amongst an even tinier pool of elite athletes. Say what you want but these elites in the video are all saying vegan high carvs. Bananas, rice, corn, pasta, potatoes. Even the GOAT Kenensia Bekele did a video on his Instagram stating to eat bread, pasta, rice, corn and no fat.
