Seth Demoor is a famous ultra marathon runner from Denver, Colorado, and he runs 130 miles a week normally. His best marathon time is 2:23:40 from Amsterdam in October 2019.
Breakfast: Bobo’s with butter and a cup of coffee before his morning run. The bobo’s bar contains 14 g of fat, 125 g of sodium, 41 g of carbohydrates, and 14 g of sugar, and finally 7 g of protein.
During his 30 mins to 1 hour drive for his morning run, he eats cashews and different nuts and finishes his coffee and sometimes eats half a banana.
Drinks: first of all his drinks include straight water and in the winter tea especially turmeric tea and also Bigs recovery drinks which contain tablets for example orange mango and more coffee. He also drinks raw hibiscus tea, probiotic and organic.
Seth used to drink beer but he’s really cut back on beer his favorite used to be KOLSCH. He’s more of a red wine drinker these days.
Lunch: 2 fried eggs, cut tomatoes, can of tuna, jalapeño sauce from Trader Joe’s, mixed with some more nuts. No bread, no rice, no potatoes.
For dinner: he has a huge mixed salad with two more eggs, the big salad contains spinach and then sometimes chicken, tuna, steak. No rice, pasta or bread - zero.
Where does he get his carbs from? From cashews and nuts and also from popcorn which he has as a night snack every night or most nights a week, five nights a week. His typical dessert after his evening meal contains chips and salsa sometimes with guacamole and he sometimes adds raisins.
He has a unique system for eating in that he eats most of his meals on his own despite having a wife and three kids because he does not like to eat spaghetti or rice or carbs in general. That is to say he does not like to eat most conventional carbs. He gets his carbs from cashews, nuts, popcorn, and chips.
Here is the complete list of foods which comprise most of his diet on a weekly basis:
Bananas, honey, walnuts, spinach, Fried eggs, Red peppers, chicken, tuna, pickles, hard-boiled eggs with salt and pepper, chips and salsa, dark chocolate from Trader Joe’s, wine, guacamole, sometimes the vegetables in the salad contain mushrooms, onions, peppers, and carrots.
Remember the snack at about 8 PM when his kids go to bed is popcorn with butter, raisins, cashews and sometimes honey.

For a guy running 130 miles a week I’m very surprised that he can get away with so few carbs. It defies logic but it works for him so good luck to him. -
Seth has great material on UTUBE. I never buy new shoes without consulting Seth.

I would be interested in Sage Canaday’s view of Seth Demoor’s diet. Specifically, does Sage think that Seth gets in the essential macro and micro nutrients for his body taking into account that Seth runs 130 miles a week and competes at a high level in ultramarathons. Seth and Sage are sometimes rivals in ultra races especially trail races so I assume they know each other quite well

His Bobo bar has 41 grams of carbohydrates. That's only low carb to most on this board.

I thought the 130/week was only at the peak of his blocks. His average might be 90? -

I don't think you have a clue what an ultra marathon is. -

Fat factors heavily into his fueling. There are 9 kcal per gram of fat, versus 4 kcal per gram of carbs. The majority of his mileage is likely low aerobic (I don't understand the why's and how's of such low heart rates when he is at high altitude), where fat is burned in exchange for water and CO2. -
Curious, what ultra marathons has Seth competed in? Can you name even 1?

Kouros said anything less than a 12hr was not an ultra. Seth's forte is ascent mountain races. -
Asking someone about their diet is like asking them about their training. You will get what they think is their best week, not what they actually do on average. Carbs are in everything, I’m sure he gets plenty if doing any sort of quality runs. If you are just running easy all the time you don’t really need carbs.

Its amazing to me what social media does to peoples brains. First it was all the Instagram'ers that win shorter ultra's but cannot seem to even come close to figuring out the 100 mile distance and now f&ck it, you don't even need to win a single ultra to be a 'famous ultra marathoner'.
-
OP, maybe you could request the BROJO's to change the title to,
"Seth Demoor, star mountain climber,...."
or
"Seth Demoor, winner of the Pikes Peak Marathon,..."
etc. -
Or quite simply 'sub elite youtuber's diet'
-
EDIT: should read, "racer" instead of "climber", to remove any confusion between mountain runners and those that hang off the side of cliffs.
-
True Love takes care of all the carbs in that household.

He is absolutely an elite mountain racer, particularly in ascents. -
If you say so. His times dont seem to indicate that he is elite, other than PP and plenty of sub elite guys have a stand out performance from time to time. But I admittedly do not follow sub ultra races very closely. One things for sure, the guy is not an 'elite ultra runner' and hardly even qualifies as being an ultra runner at all. Racing a few 50k's doesn't make it so.

That's a really weird accent.. where did this person grow up?

Seth is the future of trail running!!! He is the best
