    Merlie - although I don't know what was in the stew, it looks like a lot of carbs, not much fruit and veg and not a lot of fluid.
    What distances are you doing? A good nutrition plan needs to be targeted to the training load and goals.
    More details please image
  • The tins may be hard to digest
  • breakfast porridge and slice of toast

    lunch, banana and yogurt

    evening meal, salad with couscous, potato and chicken,

    kiwi fruit and yogurt

  • There's normally at least 2 bananas in there and an apple - supermarket trip done now.
    There was some veg in the stew - but not the biggest fan of veg...
    The water goes without saying .... I sip it all day.

  • How do you lot survive on that? Let alone run for miles and miles too? I don't get it. I'll never be one of you lithe and lovely marathon runners. I'll have had about 1500 cals today but ONLY cos I'm not training this week (ITB niggle) and I don't want to lard out while I'm resting. I'm a 40 yr old female, 9 stone. On a running day there'd be hundreds more carb & protein cals in there (porridge, mackerel, chicken, jacket pots) and possibly something resembling an iced bun.... but here's a typical day from my resting week intake:

    8am - 2 Weetabix w skimmed milk, 1 slice soya & linseed toast, low fat olive spread, redbush tea

    10am - Banana & Skinny latte (no cake on rest days, sob)

    1pm - Half tin Tomato & Basil soup with 100g butter beans, 2 slices w/meal bread with beef spread

    5pm - Bowl of carrots, broccoli & peas with HP sauce (yes weird I know...)

    8pm - Strawberry yoghurt, melon & blueberries, digestive biscuit & redbush tea

     

     

     

     

  • Breakfast - porridge with maple syrup and banana, tea

    Snack - 0% fat greek yoghurt

    Lunch - HUGE salad with lime juice as dressing, couple of tablespoons of 3 bean salad mix, grilled chicken breast or grilled beef pieces or tin of tuna

    Mid afternoon snack - fruit and yoghurt

    Getting home from work snack - cup of tea and 2 slices of toast

    OR post gym/run snack - protein shake and a couple of slices of Soreen malt loaf

    Dinner - Similar to lunch, but substitute the 3 bean salad for couscous, rice, pasta or potato

    Pudding - sugar-free jelly with fruit, more yoghurt

    I drink at least 3 pints of water a day and probably have 5 or 6 cups of tea (builders and herbal). Sometimes I'll have a packet of crisps or slice of cake, but typical daily diet is the above.

    If I'm planning to do a long run after work, I might have some couscous with my lunch but don't usually need it. Pre-long run breakfasts tend to be big bowl of porridge and maybe a couple of slices of toast depending on distance.

  • Today so far:

    Pre-breakfast - One chocolate digestive

    Breakfast - BIG bowl of mixed cereals & semi-skimmed milk

    Morning break - Mars bar (well they did used to sponsor the London marathon)

    Lunch - smallish portion of vegetarian thai red curry & rice, orange & banana.

    Dunno what tea is going to be.

  • Make it a tub of Flora since they also used to sponsor the London marathon...

  • OMG- no wonder I am a big fat bloater! I'm 55, 5ft 2 and generally a size 8 sometimes 6 .

    I put meals out for myself, my 6ft 3 husband and 6ft 5 son and they ask which is theirs..... So it won't surprise you to hear:

    6:30 porridge, honey and 2 enormous cups of tea.

    9 mile run, followed by carton of apple juice.

    Return home, 2 slices whole meal bread with apricot jam (no butter) and another cuppa.

    Housework, washing, etc then at 1:30 sausage, mash, carrots, kale. Apple.

    Continued housework, craving sweet things, so handful raisins and cup of drinking chocolate. Sipped on water bottle, reluctantly.

    5:30 Spin class, gym, bottle of water, bought bottle of wine on way home( one of my 5 a day) nibbled on 2 frankfurters as OH still in gym. Salad, ham, coleslaw etc for dinner. Will see off at least half the bottle of wine..p

    No wonder my rear is bigger than Belgium when I see what everyone else eats!!!
  • Oh, and 2 Ryvitas (other crisp breads are available) peanut butter and jam....last one to 16 stone's a sissy.
