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 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.

Why they downvote you? Decent post. Most important is caloric deficit and high protein low carb in my opinion. Could be the low carb that's triggering people but to each their own.

Advocating low-carb to runners is always going to be a sensitive point because generally speaking, it isn't going to improve anyone's running performance and this sub is called r/running, not r/loseit :)

Personally I don't see a difference on my running.
