If you run a lot, you probably digest less of your food than otherwise.

not all calories are equal. also, increase in activity doesn't require the same proportion of increased calories. but eat as much kale stew and ugali as you wish if you're opting out of US thanksgiving. and as much red cabbage and radishes as well, daily, obsessively, as if a religion. just a little meat. master the art of braising. practice the art of one fire, many meals. yes! a few decadent meals isn't going to kill your puritan leanness. you don't have to survive on eel to attain authenticity. in fact, eat well, nap and rest, and then eat less, nap and rest.
You know....honestly, I learned more when I got back into running from articles advice from David Willey, Kristin Armstrong, Jenny Hadfield, Sarah Bowen Shea, Dimity McDowell and John Bingham on RW and their publications than from any patronizing crackpot on this site. You guys make "also rans" quit. You don't inspire. They do.

I was a decent runner back in the day, and I had to watch my diet closely to loose 5/6 to get down to racing weight every season. If i didn't I couldn't run as fast. One of my team mates would loose weight if he took some time off or got injured. My point being that the same principle doesn't apply to all runners
I think you can eat whatever you want until you are in your mid to late 20's, then your metabolism will start to slow a bit and you need to be a bit more conscious of what you are eating (less junk food). For holidays? I don't think it really matters if one eats more than usual for a short time, as it all evens out.
Here - basically weight loss comes from calorie intake not from exercise. Because exercise is actually a small amount compared to basal metabolism and as you get fitter you also process calories more efficiently. Fat people sit on the toilet all the time, they hardly process the food.
1000 calories of doughnuts VS 1000 calories of bananas, one is mostly fat and one is mostly carbohydrates. Fat is stored directly on the body to be converted to carbohydrates and excess carbohydrates are excreted through urine. The calories in and out thing is just widespread nonsense. The fat you eat is the fat you wear.
If I burn 100 calories per mile, a 5 mile run would burn 500 calories. An 8 mile run would burn 800. Therefore I could eat an additional 300 calories of food while maintaining my weight.
Runners World is geared towards the kind of person who probably does view their daily run as punishment for the pumpkin pie.
Apples to apples: If this is true, then Letsrun is geared toward all of the sub-elite also rans who think they are good enough to coach all styles and forms because they are so frustrated with their lack of bling and dough for all their training which made them scared to eat pumpkin pie or even an apple. Idiot. Runners ' World is real people. Let's Run is self-centered automatons who are still running for Coachie in their minds. I'll take the RW crowd. There's a reason why people like Amby chose RW.

Sounds like you had a bad experience here. LetsRun definitely isn’t for the super serious and dense..
Pumpkin pie is great. Regardless if you ran today or not.
False that is totally false. It's either somewhat or not at all false.

This is absolute nonsense, sugars spike your blood sugar and insulin is released to signal your cells to take up sugar and store it usually as fat or glycogen. Fats can pass though your digestion system easier as they need bile to be absorbed so can be limited. But sugars you have no choice, but to absorb it into your blood stream. If you pee sugar you have serious medical issues. That's why sugars are more dangerous than fat.

Not all calories are the same and the calorie in calorie out myth has been debunked many times - read the article about.
Fit people can run further on less calories, so they might burn the same calories as a fat person in a day.
Agree with you, the resident grouches apparently would be happier if the US had just 10% of its current runners. They have this delusion that treating random people like thishttps://i.gifer.com/A2Jo.gif will keep them coming back until they level up. Except no amount of "tough love" got them to the Olympics, either.

Debunked by whom? Dr. Oz?
CICO is untrue because of gut flora, whose independent in/out is different for everyone. That's why some people can eat a lot and never gain weight(and the opposite). It's well known that diet has like 5-10x the effect on weight than exercise - you really can "not-eat" your way to fitness!
Amby was a great at RW, loved his book and great point running is not just for the elite. Sadly RW has become all about wokeness in your face, advertising and less about running.
