Everyone is different and has their own unique training diet. I am curious to see everyone's different responses. Please describe your typical daily diet during training and how many miles you run weekly. Do you eat anything before runs? I get up so early and have to be out the door that I dont have time for it. Do you eat gels during long runs?

I eat eggs and fruit in morning after run. if i wake up hungry i eat a banana or orange before my run. lunch I eat oatmeal yogurt fruit and nuts, dinner I eat rice chicken and vegetables. yogurt or fruit for dessert. Fruit or nuts for snacks if I get hungry. I eat gels only on long runs, i like Clif brand. i usually run around 60 miles a week.
3 hour marathoner, about 50ish miles a week, looking to do more and go sub-3 in the future. Mid-30s, male.
I get up early and do most of my runs first thing, no food.
Breakfast: coffee, 5 scrambled eggs w/ cheese, toasted ezekial bread w/ peanut butter, fruit (usually berries, sometimes banana)
Snack: almonds and cashews, banana
Lunch: chicken (or leftovers from dinner), veggies (leftover from diner), nuts
Dinner: a couple beers or glasses of wine first, then meat (beef, fish, chicken, pork) with lots and lots of veggies (carrots, broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts, kale, etc.) and some kind of carb (usually potatoes or rice, sometimes sweet potatoes).
Dessert: dark chocolate and/or ice cream
Once or twice a week dinner will be going out or ordering in. Pizza, burgers, Mexican, whatever.
50-60 mpw. My work schedule is very variable so my eating habits pre-run depend a lot on whether I'm running pre-work or post-work, but typically I try to eat no more than an hour and a half before running and usually something light. On a day when I'm running in the afternoon, a typical daily diet would be something like:
Breakfast: Bowl of ~1 and 1/2 servings of raisin bran
Bowl of ~1 and 1/2 servings of cheerios
Bowl of 2 servings of oatmeal
Scoop of protein powder in vanilla almond milk
Mid-morning: Almond Butter and berry sandwich
Two baked potatoes
Banana
Homemade no bake bar/granola
Salad (lettuce, spinach, tomato)
Mid-afternoon: Rice
Dinner: Baked Salmon or Chicken and more rice
Post-Dinner: More cereal
