bluepill 0 #1 May 2, 2009 I've recently noticed that every time I jump I really get the munchies. Why is this? Today I had a small breakfast, then went to the dz, had a banana when i got there. Got manifested, then did my jump. As soon as I am back on The ground I could eat a horse. What's going on? Dose anyone else get the munchies and What food/fuel do you use throughout a jumping day?

I can go all day and not get hungry as long as I'm staying hydrated. I do eat a light breakfast on the way to the DZ though.... coffee, a banana and some vitamin water is the usual fare.Always be kinder than you feel.

A few hours after the last jump, I have an adrenaline crash and have to eat a bunch. I wouldn't call it "the munchies" though, because for me it's different than wanting to snack on Doritos after getting high. It's more like I NEED SOME FOOD NOW!!!

BP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bluepill 0 #17 May 6, 2009 Ok, from the response it is either down to: Comfort.. that I am safe - I don't think it is this cos I don't normally turn to food for comfort. Adrenalin Crash - Possibly this. Although I am normally buzzing for a long time after. De-Hyrdation - I think it might be this. I am guilty of not drinking enough hydrating drinks before and during the jump day. Normally it's a cup of tea in the morning and a few cans of something fizzy and cups of tea throughout the day. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, so perhaps that's what it is. I 'll test it out next time at the DZ by hyrdating properly throughout the day. BP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mr_music11 0 #18 May 6, 2009 ...dont usually get the "munchies" until sometime after 420p or so But when it comes to food and jumping.. Ive gotta usually go light.. breakfast is usually some toast, some turkey bacon and some water (maybe some coffee).. lots of water before getting the DZ and lots of water thru the day, even after jumping. During the day while jumping I'll have trail mix with fruit,nuts and chocolate, maybe a banana or another piece of fruit to keep the energy levels up. After jumping I am usually hungry cuz I havnt had a full meal and also have been burnin' calories thru the jumping. My stomache doesnt handle any heavy amounts of food before or during jumping(stomache flippin' turnin twisin' round in a free form roller coaster somewhere in the area of 120 mph ... go figure huh? lol ) blues & soft landings If flying is piloting a plane.. then swimming is driving a boat.
