Can I Eat What I Want And Still Run My Best????????

Eath shit and die motherf*cker.

Take a nutrition course.

Okay, just because you are taking vitamins doesn't mean that you are "getting all the nutrients you need" as you said. And putting anything in your mouth that tastes good doesn't sound to me like it could be all that healthy. If we could all put in our mouths whatever we wanted to eat, we'd probably eat shit all the time. And it sounds like you do have some idea of where to start; obviously you have concerns about putting whatever you want into your body by consulting this forum. If you want to be the best runner you can be take every advantage you can, such as eating fairly healthy. There is a great book called "Eat, Drink and Be Healthy" by Walter C. Willett, who developed a new food guide pyramid with the Harvard School of Public Health. This will help you and give you a good idea of where to start.

If you eat crap all the time, eventually you will run like crap. Just a little research and you can find something better. Occational crap is OK, just not most of the time.

mmm nothing like eating shit

why is it that people are so concerned with what type of fuel they put into their cars but could care less about what they put into their bodies. You are what you eat--eventually.

I think rules of thumb are more useful with nutrition than being anal-retentive about it all.

-If you feel stuffed after you eat, you ate too much.

-Make sure you have all of the food groups covered- and if possible eat more fruits and veggies than you "need".

-Take a multivitamin.

-Avoid greasy and fried foods when you can, but neither will kill you.

-Don't eat late at night.

-Run hard.

That just about covers it.

Eating late at night has no affect on you. It is the same as eating at any other time.

anything will burn if the furnace is hot enough...even a big mac!

that doesn't mean they lost weight because they stopped eating after 7. just a guess but they're probably EATING LESS. you can say there is a direct relationship with eating after 7 and losing weight.

Your metabolism slows down when you sleep. It's a proven fact.

you can eat whatever as long as you aren't stupid about it, just eat as much McD's as you want until ur shit turns to pure grease then back off that junk food a little bit and you found your limit.

just watch Supersize Me....you will think twice about what you eat
