Interesting, I've always been under the assumption that more protein was best after a workout to help muscle recovery. <br /><br />And I definitely agree--I eat virtually no white bread/white rice. I try to eat pretty healthy all year around, but I know I'll need to pay a bit more attention over the next few months!<br /><br />Thanks for chiming in :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540440810449410755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463314611580360925.post-59206114594883595322010-07-21T09:45:39.790-04:002010-07-21T09:45:39.790-04:00Just randomly found your blog through dailymile an...Just randomly found your blog through dailymile and thought I'd chime in!<br /><br />From my experience, eating a snack of 3:1 carbs to protein immediately after a long run works really well, followed by a healthy meal after showering/stretching, regardless of hunger level. <br /><br />I also can't stress enough the importance of whole, real foods: whole grains (ideally sprouted), lean protein, unprocessed-everything, loads of fruits and veggies, natural nut butters, etc. Runner's nutrition seems to favour refined sugar/flour from a digestibility and energy-availability standpoint, but that's what leads to the intense crash. <br /><br />Runner's bodies are like sportscars.. you don't put the cheap fuel in there! <br /><br />Just my two cents.

(the days after a long or hard workout) I try to eat a protein for snacks- either hard-boiled eggs, a protein shake, rice toast with almond butter, protein bar, etc. I don't eat gluten, so that really helps me to eat fresh, natural foods instead of bread-y snacks. <br />Have you checked out the book racing weight by Matt Fitzgerald? Super helpful.<br />oh, I also try to eat every 3 hours. :)Arianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901617739010895316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463314611580360925.post-7326503202536013282010-07-19T10:59:21.679-04:002010-07-19T10:59:21.679-04:00Lisa--It will definitely be interesting to see how...Lisa--It will definitely be interesting to see how others deal with it! Someone also suggested eating real foods, as opposed to protein bars and things like that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540440810449410755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463314611580360925.post-29436869393877958272010-07-19T10:28:35.996-04:002010-07-19T10:28:35.996-04:00I haven't quite figured that one out yet. But...I haven't quite figured that one out yet. But I have found that I am more likely to be super hungry the day AFTER a long run than the day of. I think I am hungriest as my body kicks up in metabolism, but then it levels out. It doesn't happen every long run, just when I hit new weekly milestones etc.<br /><br />I think that eating foods with a low glycemic index and high protein. Those foods digest slower so you have less of a blood sugar spike. <br /><br />I think I might check back to see what other people suggest. I am always looking for better ways to eat during training.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902589811626771148noreply@blogger.com
