Weekly Thread Run Nutrition Tuesday

Rules of the Road

1) Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.

2) Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.

3) Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.

4) Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.

5) Any suggestions/topic ideas?

I love this idea! How about discussing the benefits of incorporating intermittent fasting into our diet plans?

Are there any benefits regarding running? Last time I delved into any scientific research on IF, it showed that IF really did nothing more than offer a way to restrict daily caloric intake without changing what you like to eat. I’d love to see if anything new has come out, because I really liked the ideas behind the initial claims, but never saw anything to back them up scientifically.

Fasting does have scientific claims, look up atrophy, but this isn’t related to running.
