Subscribe via iTunes Bob Seebohar I interview nutrition expert and dietician Bob Seebohar for a wide range of topics. Bob has a wealth of experience working with triathletes, including traveling with and assisting the 2008 US Olympic triathlon team. We discuss hydration, protein intake, sodium intake, sarcopenia, saturated fat, sugar and heart disease, blood sugar, fat burning, ironman nutrition, and more. Ironman Nutrition A segment of the podcast was devoted to Ironman nutrition. Bob thinks a well trained fat burning athlete can eat 100-200 calories/hour on the bike or even less. Bob's caloric recommendations are on the lower end of the spectrum for Ironman fueling recommendations. It works for athletes that are able to burn a lot of fat during the race. Bob’s sodium recommendations during an Ironman: For those with a low sodium diet - 500-800mg of sodium per hour. For those with a higher sodium diet - 800-1200mg of sodium per hour. To correctly determine your intake, look at the total mg of sodium (Na) on the label, not sodium chloride (NaCl). Drink fluids according to thirst.
