I have a low body-weight and have counted caloried to keep up with my mileage for a long time. I just dont feel like I have the appetite for my mileage. I just want to run and eat healthy, and not ever think about my weight or my calorie intake. Any advice?

You don't like eating as much as your mileage "requires"?

Ice cream is the solution to almost any problem.

I have some health problems and can't have just anything. I know it's important to have the things I'm supposed to have. I just want some advice as to how to get in touch with hunger cues... because I don't feel like I have them. I'm just so tired of thinking about eating enough and weighing enough and I just want to run. Does anybody have any similar experience?

You should strongly consider a whole food diet, with an emphasis on quality protein (wild salmon, grass fed beef, free range eggs) complex carbs (brown rie, quinoa, etc.), and lots of high quality green vegetables (preferably steamed or lightly cooked), healthy salads, lots of healthy fats: nuts (almonds, walnuts, cashews, macadamias, seeds), avocados, moderate amounts of grass fed butter. High performance athletes absolutely need a balanced diet even more than the average person. Also, fruit in moderate amounts is beneficial, but don't resort to a fruitarian diet.
