I had the same issue with dropping weight during my broken knee recovery... sadly muscle atrophy is a legit problem. However, it'll come back! At 5 months post surgery I am back to my normal weight, after p.t. and starting to run short, times intervals. YOU GOT THIS!
My hat arrived this week, thank you. I love it and it was so nice to get a handwritten card! Good to see you can get back on the bike again and you are remaining so positive. I think strength of mind is so important for getting over injuries. I think being positive helped so much after my foot surgery, I was back up and running way before anyone anticipated (with my surgeons approval of course). Good luck, keep smiling!
Go to breakfast - porridge made on the stove (with half a scoop of strawberry shortcake diet whey protein. Chop a banana up into it. Then crush a honey and oat nature valley bar on the top. Then finish it off with honey squirted on the top. Delightful! Usually wait around 2hr 15 before I run - I seem very susceptible to stitches whether I eat or not before my runs.
As always another top video from not one but two awesome athletes! Thanks to you both for the information great to see you on the bike too Ben!! Looks like recovery coming along well. Please keep safe the pair of you and take care.
Hi Ben, I hope your recovery is going well. I was thinking about something you said in your North Downs video, regarding nutrition on race day. Your body might feel sick on race day because you could be having things that you wouldn't normally have every day and at different times.
you could come to my house to dinner and feel lik home, that is preaty much what we at in a day too, I was not expecting when decided to wach your video. I am shure you have heal your bone really fast. Thank you for the great videos
I had that! The broken fibula. Right at the ankle. It has been one of the most depressing times of my life. I was a walker jazzerciser swimmer. It’s been 2 months. Still trying to walk again. Properly ...
Love these what we eat videos, for breakfast I’ll have overnight oats using natural yogurt instead of milk, or if it’s a Sunday I’ll have a bagel toasted, couple of rAshers of bacon, poached egg and some rocket salad :)
I wonder why so much packaged/canned stuff? is it lack of time, lack of the whole foods? As an example, it takes an effort to cook rice, beans (pre soaking overnight, cooking) or humus (just basically chickpeas with paprika and lemon juice) but it tastes soo much better and i suppose it is more healthy option.
We have a rice cooker.. we cook all our own rice 99% of the time. But we have run out and our local supermarket has also due to Corona. But they had these packets that we used in the video. Beans we just use cans as yes, it's convenient.. and cooking ourselves is still way better than ready meals etc, so it's a step in the right direction.
I could not understand the name of one of the ingredients that looks like small dark grains or seeds (min 3:15). You said you add to everything, so it must be geed. It sounded like chiersses?
A bit of both.. sometimes I have a vitamin tablet, but try to get it from food.. which isn't easy! I have regular blood tests and it's always ok for me though :-)
Just like you Ben I love myself some good chia seeds too, can't go wrong with them! But the other day when I bought them from this nuts & seeds specialist he told me to be "careful" with chia seeds. The reason being that chia seeds are a superfood meaning the nutrients are densely packed in the seeds. If you eat more than 1 tablespoon per day you end up with "expensive poop". Your body is just not capable of absorbing more than around 1 tablespoon of chia seeds per day. Someone has any thoughts on this??
I only tend to put them on my breakfast.. or if I don't, then they go in a shake... doubt I'd have much more than a table spoon a day. Like most things.. there is only so much your body can absorb.. so it makes sense!
Great Video Ben and Sarah from another plant based eater. When we really care for our body and not about the tongue, cooking becomes so much easier. Adding healthy things, mix them up with some spices and eat it.
Great vid, thanks Ben. How important is iron in diet? I feel like I have struggled a lot with energy and fatigue recently, particularly on long runs and my iron level is 18 but doc says should be over 40! I am told it is common for runners to have deficiencies in iron? Is it really important? Any advice please? Much appreciated.
Nice video with some interesting ideas of cooking .... also I think you forgot to add chia seeds for lunch & dinner ....haha just kidding ;) take care & happy recovery 😇
Love your videos. I have no interest becoming vegan myself, or vegetarian for that matter but in saying that I do probably eat too much meat and it wouldn't be any harm to cut back a little.
For breakfast, on a daily basis, I eat roast bone marrow, beef liver, 2 eggs, and at least one other meat dish. I just noticed that your food choices are heavy on carbs/sugar, therefore, raises insulin. If you need calcium, beef bone broth is best!
The muesli is from The Netherlands!! AH is a dutch supermarket! :)
Yes! Saw that as well :). In ecological plastic package! :D
finally some coffee for breakfast! thank you Sarah ! :)
She cooks, she runs, she talks posh, she looks after you AND she’s beautiful! She is a keeper Ben!

Your videos lift my mood! I love seeing Sarah in them too
So happy to see no animals harmed in making of this video. 🌱 I switched to fully plant based 8 months ago it’s really helped my health and fitness.

your outro song always gets me pumped up, so good
Really enjoyed the video Ben. Love your recipes.

Have been trying Ben’s breakfast for a week now and it’s brilliant, very tasty, healthy and filling. Highly recommended. 👍👍
Can you guys make another one of these? Great vid
I’v watched a few of these food videos of yours, i love how simple you keep it. Its very interesting and informative. 😎 cracking stuff.
The meusli-logo looks like it’s from ‘albert heijn’ which is a dutch store so I’m guessing you have it from the netherlands 😉
doesn't look like it, it is! the big blue logo is on it! :P
Ha! Must have been from when we were in Nijmegen!! Loved that trip 😀
Sarah's water bottle looks like a fire extinguisher. Stay safe guys!
Great Video Ben & Sarah!
I've never seen such an energetic Chef!

Hi Ben 💙 My new cap love the little card too ,great service !! Many thanks Bobby
Love the pink hoodie and what a lovely gesture to give the profits to our front line workers! Love it! When is it available? ❤️
"Everything's okay and under control" :D
Ben, if you haven;t already try Tempeh , a Malaysian / Indonesian firm tofu.

That women really can take care of you. You guys are good at doing vlog not only talk about running
Really liked this video!
Peanut butter, banana and honey on wholemeal toast is my pre-run energy breakfast.
Great knife skills!🙌
Beautiful meals, nice to see my nutrition is quite similar 🌱🌱
Brilliant video Ben and Sarah...as always. Just what you need when you're stuck indoors, ideas of food to eat!!
Thanks Oscar! Video on how I make my videos next up!
@@BenParkes Brilliant, thank you!
Hi Ben, Where do you get the marinated tofu from? I couldn't find any in Tesco ☹️
He's using taifun tofu you can get in Waitrose 👍
I want a pink hoodie like Sarah! Luv it
That pink hoodie is so cute! I might have to pick one up💕💕💕
Hello from Canada

Great insight, thanks for sharing!
Did I hear correctly that Sarah is coming out with a 50 mile training plan?? Just in time for my first 50 miler in November!? 🎉
I could not understand the name of one of the ingredients that looks like small dark grains or seeds (min 3:15). You said you add to everything, so it must be geed. It sounded like chiersses?
Chia seeds 🙂
I'm getting hungry. I can smell it cooking. Looks delicious!
Fun to watch.as always and made me order one of your hoodies:-) stay healthy.from Berlin
Ben the muesli is from the Dutch supermarkt brand Albert Heijn
Thanks for that Hans!! Brings back happy memories from our trip last year! :-)
Love the bowls and cooking spoon! Any idea where you got these?
The bowls are from Waitrose.. own brand. Spoons are Jospeh Joseph!
Fellow plant based eater here, do you take a B-12 vitamin (cyanocobalamin) , or rely of fortified foods?
A bit of both.. sometimes I have a vitamin tablet, but try to get it from food.. which isn't easy! I have regular blood tests and it's always ok for me though :-)
B12 supplements, normally I can get most of my B12 from fortified plant milks though. Harder to get them these days

Stay Safe
Curious to know why you don't say you eat plant based ?
what size is sarah's hoodie??~
elisexingzi usually she has a small.. but that one is XL as she wanted it super cosy and comfy!
Ben, it looks like that you are a trained chef. Are you? Everything looks so delicious...
No, not trained.. I just enjoy cooking at home and teaching myself over the years how to look after myself!
Ben Parkes Great!
Hi Ben, what is the best supportive but fast shoe that you wouldn't recommend for someone who overpronates?
How many calories was all that?
Take it easy with that agave nectar Ben. Despite its cool looks it's a heavily processed product that's not your liver's best friend.
ben whats your horoscope?
Ben, you slice your mushrooms like a pro!
Hi Ben. You track macros?
I don't personally..
vegan runners , Love that , thanks for that great example guys
Do you think you were losing weight because of muscle loss?
I stopped eating plants entirely a year ago and finally got my health sorted after 62 years. Running my best ever, big time improvements.
Cool to hear you’ve found what works for you!
?????
@benparkes Granola form holland!
Imagine getting to date a runner
WHERE ARE THOSE BOWLS FROM? :O
Love the content, always informative & gives me ideas what to eat. Sarah's face when you said RANK :) #quality
Haha nothing like a few rashers, black pudding, eggs and sausage 😀 I don’t eat carbs for breakfast 🍳
Ben why did you decide to be plant based? Was it a performance thing or an animal rights thing or something else?
That most definitely a nice bunch of Dino KALE!😄👍
Great vid, thanks Ben. How important is iron in diet?

The Run Experience has a great video on nutrition for runners, including the importance of iron.
Came from a chef youtube channel :)
It's very interesting to have this kind of video, especialy during containment.
Not much coffee going on!
Too many cooks! 😉😂
Mate, your poops 💩 must be something else with that brekkie!! Gut cleanser 😂! Edit: beans on toast too, you must be a riot to live with 💨!
hey Ben great video mate just wondering are u vegan or vegetarian? cheers
the muesli is dutch haha
When did you both become vegan? How did you find the transition - did you have a drop in energy etc?
Best bagels ever!
Nice video with some interesting ideas of cooking .... also I think you forgot to add chia seeds for lunch & dinner ....haha just kidding ;) take care & happy recovery 😇
Kiki looks chonky or is it just the fur?
She’s long haired.. that’s the breed. (Birman) she’s a healthy weight! 😀
@@BenParkes Haha ok glad to know. Chonky is cute, but of course not healthy for them so great job keeping her ''fit''
Eggs! - bring eggs into breakfast
Poached eggs on avocado on toast
Cream cheese scrambled eggs on a bagel
Love your videos. I have no interest becoming vegan myself, or vegetarian for that matter but in saying that I do probably eat too much meat and it wouldn't be any harm to cut back a little.
Does Sarah get annoyed with you adding dressing to her cooking? 🤣🤣
It's hilarious, tofu is rank and horrible 😂 I am no meat eater but that is some weird stuff right there with tofu 😁
Stop talking Ben, Sarah wants her fooooooooooooood!!!! 😛
For breakfast, on a daily basis, I eat roast bone marrow, beef liver, 2 eggs, and at least one other meat dish. I just noticed that your food choices are heavy on carbs/sugar, therefore, raises insulin. If you need calcium, beef bone broth is best!
Never would I use frozen, precut onions or garlic. That's just how I roll
Always wash your beans 😂
You both must have low metabolisms, it doesn't seem like a lot of calories per day, maybe 2500 total. I'd be starving if that's all I ate :)
U guys must have dome methane build up🤭
First
Not going to lie; would've thought marathoners would eat more than this :( depressing
