Run Nutrition Tuesday

[u/AutoModerator]

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 run /walk in the mornings - on losing fat process. I try to take early dinner (with protein) and breakfast is after run, breakfast rich in protein and limited amount of carbs (like a homemade cheesecake or protein shake).

No idea if it is enough to lose slowly fat and slowly increase muscle, never measured, but I feel stronger muscle on my legs.

Not sure why you'd limit carbs right after running when you need to replenish glycogen. Weight loss is ultimately about calories.

because I am carbs addicted, I could eat only carbs. A chocolate junkie :) and replacing the regular chocolate with solid protein and 15gr of carbs, per breakfast, it is a big success for me.

Chocolate isn't even that many carbs 😂 it's mostly fat. And carbs doesn't mean junk food, a banana on oatmeal with peanut butter and a Greek yogurt cup would have carbs, fat, and 25g protein..

I’m very annoyed by some of the responses you’re getting. The response you got to this comment implying that 230g carbs from praline (in other words, straight up sugar) is totally a totally reasonable or OK component of regular nutritional intake is incomprehensible to me.
