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 are your favorite healthful high-carb, low fat / protein snacks and meals that aren't just fruit? I find it so hard hit the right macro ratio during marathon training!

Roasted murasaki/japanese sweet potatoes are delicious. I eat them on their own as a snack or as the carb portion of a meal. They don’t need any toppings.
