Between dives, I enjoy a light snack like this:

Let's all dive with Rick so that we can dine with him during his surface intervals feast...yummy!!!
I regularly watch the morning news shows to alleviate the boredom of my exercise bike. I have seen two different features in which nutrition experts talk about coffee. Both said that while caffeine does have a dehydrating effect on the body, there is so much water in the coffee most peope drink (I am not talking espresso shots) that the net effect of drinking coffee in the morning is hydration, not dehydration.
We call that diving "buttrox" around here.
I eat the same before a dive as I would before a workout, or before work, or before anything else.
30% protein, 40% carbs, 30% fats
Typical breakfast, pre-whatever would be
3 egg white omelet w/cheese
3 strips turkey bacon
2/3 cup rolled oats (oatmeal) w/powdered cinnamon
1/2 cup blackberries
9 almonds (yes, i count them)
Lunch (easy to pack)
4 1/2 oz deli meat
1 oz cheese
1 apple
1 grapefruit
4 macadamia nuts or 12 almonds

I just get the organic rolled oats at Central Market. I don't think they have steel cut
Meant to put 30% protein, good catch
PS I give 110% though :doh2:

I think they mean foods that do not cause indigestion and gas.

I bet they do. It is sometimes called Irish Oats. The consistency is more like nuggets than the rolled mass of flat disks in the rolled variety.
The advantage is that the fiber is not so thoroughly beaten down as in the rolling process. The disadvantage is that it takes a lot longer to cook. When I make them, I get up early and put them on with lots of water at a simmer. I read the paper and go about my other morning activities, checking on it from time to time. After about 45 minutes (depending upon how much water I put in, how high the heat, etc.) it's ready to go. You can also start it the night before and finish it in the morning.
Although it takes 45 minutes of cooking to get it done, the amount of your time taken is the same as any other oatmeal. Just don't stand there watching the pot.
I never knew there were different kinds of oats. I REALLY didn't know I'd learn the difference on Scubaboard.
