Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay chats about fueling while preparing to compete in a triathlon and shares some healthy recipes.

If there’s one thing Gordon Ramsay knows about, it’s food.

The chef, who is also a keen triathlete, is gathering a group of 100 individuals to take part in a new Ironman triathlon event in Britain this summer.

The Ironman 70.3 Triathlon will take place in Staffordshire on June 14. The chef is now calling for entrants to join Team Ramsay, where they will receive guidance, equipment and support, including, of course, dietary advice.

But Ramsay has shared some of his favorite recipes to help the rest of us improve our health and fitness, and get the best out of ourselves. “Fuel is so important,” he says. “Everyone thinks the more you train, the less you eat, but not so.”

The chef puts stress on choosing the right foods—and eating at the right times—as the key. But he is at an advantage when it comes to this way of eating. “The triathlon lifestyle fits into the chef’s lifestyle,” he admits. “I don’t have breakfast, lunch and dinner. I eat five times a day— small portions.”
