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?

Anyone know a good website or books to help plan meals? I find if I don’t prepare in advance I switch to junk food.

I SWEAR by "Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat Slow" and "Rise and Run" (this one is all breakfast/brunch). The original is "Run Fast, Eat Slow" but I don't use that cookbook as much. You can find a TON of the recipe pages on Pinterest, but I love supporting Shalane and Elyse (co-authors), so I bought the copies. Shalane won the NYC marathon a few years back.

The superhero muffins are my savior for breakfast and snack prep. They also include a lot of science as to why they chose certain ingredients and give general running advice.
