A Cardiff Ironman<\/a> triathlete has revealed details of his diet, which sees him eat up to 7,500 calories a day yet lose 8% of his body weight in a race.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_5916\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tom Foster (24) describes the world of an Ironman \u2013 where \u2018diet\u2019 is the opposite of what you know.<\/p>\n

An Ironman triathlon consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a marathon. In order not to faint, he must consume over three times what the NHS recommends.<\/p>\n

Breakfasts consist of industrial dollops of porridge. His lunch: sports drinks and 14 energy gels. After the race he eats pizza, cake and his mother\u2019s lamb dinner. But even this does not erase his appetite for coffee.<\/p>\n

“Immediately after I am dying for an espresso”, grins Foster.<\/p>\n
