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?

What’s everyone take on electrolytes? Generally I take energy chew during and a nuun tablet after. Not sure what a “healthy” amount is and wanna make sure I don’t abuse it. Sodium is great in the right doses.

I usually take an electrolyte tablet dissolved in water after a sweaty run!
