I am in my early 30's and have been "skinny fat" for a while now. My arms and legs are pretty lean but I still have a little gut that won't die.
I don't drink alcohol and run about 40 to 50 mpw (slowly). I try to eat balanced but don't know much about nutrition.
What is the most likely culprit here? How do I get rid of this piece of crap belly!?

It is about 90% diet.
That includes frequency of consumption and types of food consumed during periods of the day.
You can have a diet tailored to you but it takes a lot of discipline on the front end then you have a hard time consuming crap foods after you have settled into a routine.
Look into the EXOS Fuel for Performance Meal Plans. To get a real nats rear plan you will need to get a BCM conducted with an actual nutritionist.
Bottom line, you can't out run or out train a poor diet.
Run 80-100 MPW, but hard.

Lolz I don't even drive that far in a week.
When I mean slowly, it is by lrc standards.
I think seeing someone about nutrition is my best bet right now.
Go vegan. It will work. Keep running.
The obvious answer is crossfit.
Crossfit vegan?
Colon blow. You've probably got 3-5 pounds of rotting meat in your colon.
Fast food. Juice. Soda. Deserts. Processed foods(frozen pizza like delissio, hungry man, frozen pre made meals, fatty meats)/Processed Junk like oreos wagon wheels all that shit cut em. If your a glutton cut down on portion sizes. Dont go vegan. Don't go vegetarian. Dont see a nutritionist. Its a much simpler problem than that.
Also, im not sure if your a guy who goes out to eat alot but it is the plague. Im not saying avoid it but if your one to get the nachos than the steak and potatoes w/ works then desert and a couple glasses of wine, you got yourself 2000 cals in one meal. Restaurant food is bad. Everything in moderation of course but you do have to watch when you go out.
Thanks.
I have been watching my portions and eating slower. But probably too much fat and bad carbs too.
I have tried doing smoothies with half dark greens with berries or frozen fruit with a little juice and water. It fills me up and cleans me out. But I am beginning to question whether I should be consuming this much sugar, esp with respect to the frozen fruit. I usually drink this immediately after runs.
Would dehydrated fruit or something that expands with water be useful in keeping me feeling full? Or is that a waste of time?

See the nutritionist. It isn't that they are some kind of miracle workers but they can establish a sensible dietary plan that you can live with and see results very quickly with.
I worked out a "fuel for performance plan" and not only did I detox rapidly but I dropped almost 4% body fat in less than 2 weeks.
Rest and Recovery played a big role for me too.
Having a plan vs not having a plan? What makes more sense to you?
you gotta eat fat to get rid of the fat
no carbs, a good amount of protein, lotsa fat
cheese, meat and spinach, basically
Got ya. What is a good place to find a decent specialist? I am in San Diego. Is there a website or referral system I can look into? I don't trust yelp.
I add lastly that perhaps throwing in two days a week of light strength work would help speed up metabolism temporarily as well as permanently with an increase in muscle mass. Do 10 sets of 20 pushups and some curls for example. The combo of cardio and strength would shed the pounds.

Ok I may be slow but I am not THAT "slow"
Great stuff thank you.
Stop eating grains, any grains. Eat meat, meat and more meat.
Stop running slowly, do HIIT instead. And lift heavy weight. You will become buff.

Thanks. Which are better for my goal: pork ribs or ribeye steaks?

EXOS is Carlsbad would be my first choice. They work with professional athletes. They will cover everything with you and even make you diet charts to follow.
The diet plan I have is awesome and I eat every 3 hours during the day. I am never really hungry and I am always ready to move.
