HELP! COMPETITION DAY FOOD - URGENT!!!!!

[witchazel]

BLOODY AUSTRALIAN CUSTOMS!!!!!!

I am entered in the INBA comp on the 17th of May and for thcomp day I ordered in some NO salt muesli from the USA as every cereal in Australia has sodium in it... even the raw oats!

Although my trainer has bought this product in before without a problem, customs has burnt mine as they didn't want the blueberries coming into Oz. I have spent the last week trying to souce something else but everything seems tobe loaded with sodium...

Can anyone tell me what you munch on during the comp that has no sodium... according to the reference sites I have been churning through even raw Kumara has sodium in it...

Any help would be great thanx!!!!!!!!!! :pray:

No salt peanut butter, higher in pottassium than sodium, I was gobbing it back with rice myself.

As long as you have more potassium than sodium going in your pretty sound.

YUMMMMMMM Sounds great! thank you so much :clap:

The only othe option I had was a muesli that has 3mg of sodium per serve but since I would bemunching on that all day the sodium would have added up pretty quick...

Sorry, can't help, just wanted to say "Good luck"

[Pseudonym]

What if you got organic oats - do they have less sodium? Or is sodium just part of the oats' makeup?

Sorry I can not help as well best of luck

[witchazel]

Yeah we are heading to the organic store tomorrow to see what their oats etc are like...

Thanks for the good luck messages... I will post photos after the show...

I'm loving doing this!!!!!! I am also going to do the ANB show on the 30th and hope to see some Kiwi's there to show these Aussies how its done LOL

Went to the Organic store today and there on the shelf was the NO SALT GRANOLA that I wasn't allowed to import! Go figure!

Bought some anyway, so my panic attack is over...

Got to say I might still go for some no salt peanut butter and rice... been craving it ever since I read about it... ah the joys of precontest dieting LOL
