I was wondering about what people ate so i decided to do a poll on what people ate on a work day and a rest day.
So i am appealing to all you runners out there to help me.
if you can do it, write down all the food you have eaten on both days, your weight, height and exersice and email it to me at:
rohan.fox@virgin.net
Thanks

I'm interested in what people eat generally. I'm a vegetarian and i know alot of carnivores, but i can't tell you they eat. I've been looking at diet and nutrition and i was wondering if sports people have a better diet than..well..couch potatoes. My diet is appauling (mainly pizza, toast, and Heinz ketchup) but i run and play hockey so i burn off a few of the calories i put on (*looks at huge mound of fat where stomach is*). However years of being a game junkie have left me with...umm..a wide load...:-$
Compared to my diet EP i bet yours is good.
END OF ROHAN
There we go! I've sent him to bed now [Rohan says :-(] He's not actually as gross as he makes out, tho his diet could do with some work.
Having said that, so could mine!
Thanks, EP, he'll like that. I'll ask him about excel in the morning (he's gone quiet, which suggests that he's probably reading the Lord of the Rings!!!)
I've been roped into this too, which means I'll have to be v. virtuous for the next few days.
Breakfast: Toast or cereal with cup of coffee
Lunch: Sandwich, fruit, yogurt, crips
Dinner: Pasta or rice with chicken or tuna with veg or salad
All washed down with lots and lots of water
I do eat some red meat but try to keep it down to a minimum.
I'm 29, run around 30 miles a week over 6 days. Also do gym work 3-4 days per week.
I'm 161 cm tall and weigh 47kg
My results from the first day will be posted soon.
Still a handfull Min? I bet.
I will try and do what you ask Rohan..however is friday and saturday a good reflection as you are likely to get a lot of alcohol and takeaways included because of the time of week....
Thats when your diet's at its worst, and we are doing this with runners and non runners and we wondered if runners were any better. These forums are busy around this time.

Wish Rohan had his own phone line!
Yes, BBB--still a handful. Don't know where he gets it from . . .
EP--I don't know how people lose weight. I could probably do with losing some--at 5'7'' I'm 10.4. But I weigh 10.4 regardless of whether I drink beer and eat pizza 24/7, or am a good vegan and run 30 miles a week. I know how the energy in/energy out equation works, I've got all the theories (they're on the biology curriculum!) but NOBODY EXPLAINED THEM TO MY BODY. Which seems to think that weighing 10.4 is perfectly ok.
Upside, of course is that I can scoff crisps, chocs and chips without fear of blobbery: downside is anything really high fat for any period gives me chronic eczema . . . How unfair is that?
Perhaps we should have a food diary thread--if we all had to post our scoff every day for a month, the sheer shame of admitting to having eaten three energy bars on a non-running day yesterday(cough cough, not that I did, of course) would probably cause a wave of virtuousness that would put supermarkets out of business.
And I'd probably still weigh 10.4.
Thanks to everyone who is taking part in this 'experiment' it should be interesting to see. Mim did eat 3 energy bars yesterday (breakfast, lunch and..tut-tut..midnight snack)!
Breakfast: Cereal
Lunch: 2 ham rolls (dry bread), apple, banana, and 2 satsumas
Tea: Pasta/jacket potato/ plenty of veg, fish, a couple of beers
Weedend:
Breakfast: bacon butties
Lunch: Sandwich
Tea: Curry and plenty of beers (as long as there is not a race the next day otherwise as weekday)
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 16st
Exercise: run: 25 to 30 miles per week plus one gym session.
I don't know if this fits in with your project but I have a theory that what you weigh depends a lot on your natural makeup and hormones. I had treatment for prostate cancer last year and for three months they gave me an injection of something which blocks off testosterone (the hormone which helps you build muscles and be agressive). I think the injections were some sort of female hormone or something which mimicked it. During those 5 months my running slowed down drastically, I put on about 14 pounds and I got hot sweats at unpredictable moments. I carried on with my normal diet and training schedule so apart from running slower than usual there was no real reason for my weight to go up if it is only affected by what you eat and the amount of excercise you take.
Incidentally I eat the same on rest days as training days, but I don't have a lot of rest days. The Muesli I eat is Sainsbury's de Luxe (no added salt or sugar) if you need to check on all the ingredients.
Good luck
Never mind at least they know why I'm always tired at meetings now!!!
Here goes:
Female
9.5 stone
5foot 3 inches
30-50 mile a week runner
Regardless of type of training daily diet as follows:
Breakfast
Cup of coffee (skimmed milk)
Bowl of Shreddies (skimmed milk)
Lunch
2 x bagel with ham and mustard
Low fat cup a soup
Snack pm
Nutrigrain bar or similar
bottle of pepsi max
Dinner
Pasta with chicken or tuna or nothing

Wolfy
BTW. Didnt take you long to find the ginger princess did it you young devil you!! ;-)
PS you're not interested in anything that comes back up are you????
Thought not.
Weekdays
Breakfast nothing
am snack Mars Bar and packet of crisps
Lunch cornish pasty
evening meal meat pie, chips/jacket potato, peas/beans
drinks through the day 8 cups of coffee, 1 can coke, glass of water (if busy at work possibly more coffee!).
Weekends
My coffee consumption goes down, and I probably won't have a Mars Bar or Crisps but will have biscuits.
If it's really hot I'll drink extra water, but that's the only real change.
This is for a training or non-training day, if I'm busy at work I don't do any training (like for the last month!).
I'm 5'8", usually weigh between 10st 10lb and 11st.
My training is
day1 1k fast x 4 reps finish with a hill
day2 rest (catch up training day if busy)
day3 3.5 miles fast flat course finish with a hill
day4 10 hills last few flat out
day5 6 miles flat - aim for a quick time
day6 rest (shopping)
day7 rest - walking on the beach/dartmoor, gentle jog 1-2 miles.
Hope this helps.
