Re: Apnea Diet

Tomorrow I'm heading to the Newport Aquarium for a full day video shoot of a local freediver who is volunteering at the Aquarium. I will be spending a good portion of the day in the water with him shooting video while freediving and haven't a clue what foods to consume tonight and during the day tomorrow?

Water temps are said to be in the low 50's F in the aquarium tanks and I want to maintain my energy level throughout the day. I have been training on land with a modified first series Ashtanga Yoga/Pilates routine 6 days a week with occasional pool sessions just to keep wet as well as Static Apnea tables once a week.

My diet consists of whole grains, rice, lean meats, fish, olive oil, lots of leafy greens, no sugar (replaced that with Stevia), decaf coffee with Soy creamer is my only vice. I cut dairy out last month and caffeine two months ago. I also Jala Neti twice a day to keep my sinuses/ears in shape with gentle equalization to keep me Eustachian tubes exercised.

Any advice on foods to take with me to keep my energy level up for what looks to be a exhausting day of freediving with a fairly large video housing with full lighting?
