Who knew that Kawhi Leonard posted on Letsrun?

One whole cheesecake at night.

Bacon and cigarettes...fingernails ...make a lousy breakfast

Less than 10g of sugar and over 30g of protein.

Main: Spinach and pea pasta twirls with brocolli and paleo avocado ranch

Dinner:

Chicken, homemade sweet potato chips lightly fried in olive oil, mixed vegetables

Mind you physical labor and running, cross training equals overs 60 hours per week at times.

Launch: left overs, vegetables or fruit, meat protein every other day. Sandwich or free hamburger from bank today.

Dinner: Baked dish like enchiladas, cauliflower, mac n cheese, massive green salad.

Desert usually includes ice cream then I eat a bowl of cereal.

Drink close to if not more than 100 oz water a day.

Fiber; two teaspoons three times a day (nothin better then being empty when you run)

Caffeine; 400 mg a day, 180mg before running

Mystery Ingredient; Helps mood and cardio

Ice cream and stuff are not good for you I know but it makes you happy. I also like the randomly eating what ever idea, the human body has evolved being kinds of scavengers you dont need all the nutrients all the time. Im definitely not as healthy as some here for sure. Such low calorie diets with less sugar, those are the diets that make your skin age less and you look younger. Running is such a great sport the way everyone here is optimizing their diets for performance.

Breakfast- usually two eggs, a bananna, and some other fruit (been having pineapple recently)

Lunch- Cold cut sandwhich with veggies cheese condiments

Dinner- Pasta with homemade tom8o sauce

Desert- Chocolate Milk with whey powder

I drink coffee and tea sometimes. I have both plain with nothing added. Never ever drink soda. I'll drink alcohol on occasion though.

Do you like to cook? I love very much. Therefore, I recommend you this page. There you can find a wonderful recipe for chicken thighs.

Ingredients

Bump. I totally agree (not sure why tho lol)

Reading through some of these shows me I'm delusional when I think I have a healthy diet.

Breakfast: big breakfast burrito with jalapeno ranch OR 1.5 cups of cooked oatmeal with some butter, milk and maple syrup.

Snack: small bag of kettle chips OR a piece of fruit.

Lunch: chicken bake from costco OR rice with veggies and a type of meat.

Snack: Some chips or a cookie

Dinner: spaghetti or asian dinner with rice

Dessert: 1 or 2 India Pale Ales

Excuse me while I go find a new diet...

I think I eat twice as much as any other 115 pound, 61 year old female:

Breakfast #1 (at home): 6 oz yogurt with raisins and cereal, black coffee

Breakfast #2 (at office): Two Clif bars, handful of nuts

Morning snack: half a large muffin, black coffee

Lunch: Small mandarin orange, Eggbeaters omelet with nonfat cheese, two Larabars, black coffee

Afternoon snack: half a large cookie

Dinner: Poached fish with steamed broccoli and cauliflower over brown rice, bowl of blueberries with yogurt and oats

Evening snack: several bowls of mixed cereals with raisins

I run about 70 mpw and my weight has been stable for about 15 years with this general diet.

a friend once asked if I "still eat like a dump truck?" yes, thanks

breakfast: coffee

lunch: italian hoagie

dinner: potato chips and IPAs

dessert: more IPAs

I wish I was making this up

Unreal!

You must have the metabolism of a hummingbird!

random day that could happen, obviously could vary

Breakfast - Big bowl of rice krispies (2.5 serving sizes) with whole milk and blueberrys, glass of OJ

Snack- Probably some unhealthy stuff, cookies or sugary granola bar (or both bc I like food)

Lunch- Bowl of rice with mozz cheese, bagel with Pb and banana,

Dinner- two bowls chili with guac, sour cream and cheddar cheese, with corn chips for dipping

dessert- maybe ice cream or a few cookies

I'm 5-9, 135 and try to run 55-60 mpw when not hurt, although it's often less with some extra cross training. I probably eat 3,000 calories per day. I also take iron daily

In my opinion diet is not really as important as people think it is, sleep and stress management are definitely more important as far as running goes. I always notice I get injured way more easily when I get less sleep and/or have stressful non running related things going on. I have run some pretty great races after eating garbage in the days leading up.
