What kind of diet should I have for a 3 hour/day swimming training program?

Author: So I’ve planned a 3 month training program, where I swim 3 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Usually for workouts, I eat a fruit before, and drink some chocolate milk after it. Should I increase my protein intake for this tho?
What kind of diet should I have to make sure I get the full benefits?

WOW, way too much swimming unless you are going to be swimming the 10000 meter in competition. Unless you are a long distance swimmer, I would suggest that you limit yourself to 45 minutes a day.
On top of that, you will need 700 calories an hour to fuel your engine, and if you do that on body fat store alone you could seriously hurt yourself.
You should have no more than a 500 calorie daily deficit. Your protein levels should be at least 100 grams a day. You shouldn’t be eating a fruit before the workout. You should take a five minute break every half hour and eat 200 calories each time.
But this all depends, what is your purpose? what are your goals?
