I am a highschool senior who runs 55-65mpw and i have a pretty varied diet that is overall healthy i think. I pretty much stay away from sweets other than ice cream once a week and an occasional Costco muffin. but, goldfish are my love. when the salt touches my tongue, it is a greater sensation than that of lips of a woman.
Anyways, I seriously eat like 4 cupsof goldfish everyday, is this fine since it's pretty much just simple carbs and salt?
thx for the advice bbs
Well it all starts with Goldfish, but then you move on to Cheetohs, and then pretty soon you're in an alley with a Cheez Wiz can!
My advice is mix in some pretzels with the Goldfish, the cheese and the salt play off each other very nicely!
Dude, I totally like eat a bag of these every day as I drive to work and wash 'em down with a 44oz diet coke. Of course now I'm 55, can't see my feet past my flab and my teeth are rotting. That said, they taste so frickin good. Down 'em.

It is progressive.
I can eat a 1 pound box of Cheez-its in 2 days.
People tell me to go to rehab but i say no, ,no,no.
Honestly chief, I feel you. I eat kettle cut salt and pepper potato chips every day. I prefer the taste of that to love
Get the “baked with whole grain” kind. More fiber, better taste, better texture.
Eat whatever you want. Dieting is a waste of time and wont really impact your times
my justification is that the salt replaces the salt u lost while sweating and the rest of it is just carbs. its not like it has a lot of sugar in it so I consider goldfish relatively healthy
Try the new toasted cheese nips. I just ate a whole box yesterday all by myself.
I don’t believe living goldfish should be eaten so i believe it would affect your running. Eating foods that may kill you greatly affect all parts of your life since you can’t do anything after dying from eating another living animal

First of all, you're one hilarious high school kid.
Second, I don't think it matters as long as you're not gaining excess weight and still eating healthy otherwise, bb
guys,
thank you SO SO much for this valued advice, from the bottom of my heart. I enjoyed hearing some other salty snack options and i greatly look forward to giving them a taste!
This is tale of cheesychomper. It was the 30th of February, 1975. I was a wee lad who came upon a lucky leprechaun who bestowed my version of gold, goldfish. I would do anything for just a taste I told the leprechaun. He let me try one but after that I couldn’t help myself, I inhaled the entire pot. Then I started seeing visions of the leprechaun being a goldfish. So of course I ate it why I would let a goldfish go to waste. But my visions got worse and I spent my mortgage on every cheesy. Goldfish, cheezits, Cheetos, string cheese and then cheese wizz. The cheese wizz gave me a tingle in my bones it made me feel live. I lost all sense of myself all I did was chug cheese whizz. I then stumbled upon alley full of expired cheese wizz and cheesy goodness from 1917. The cheese was aged like my fine wine. The cheese had taken over my life and all I could was drink gallons of godly cheese whizz. I’ve been stuck ever since falling deeper into my cheesy coma. If someone asked me I regretted it I would say no it’s been the best descison of my life. And that is the tale of the cheesychomper.

I've had my moments with the Goldfish where I felt like a whale inhaling plankton. You can get by with it when you're young and active.
But when you need to get PAST it:
Mix whole grain mini-pretzels in with the Goldfish. Also maybe some roasted salted cashews and/or pistachios. Start with a 1:1:1 mix. Slowly increase the proportions of wg-pretzels and cashews. You'll gradually wean yourself off the g-fish. It's for the better in the longrun.

I'm very similar to you in terms of cravings. I don't have a sweet tooth but can down salty snacks like there's no tomorrow. Goldfish, pretzels, but my biggest weakness is tostitos. I worry that there's some ingredient in there that's going to kill me eventually.
Even though I don't run much any more, I still sweat a lot, so I've always assumed my cravings are a away to replace salt. At the same time, my blood pressure is slightly high, so if I have a craving for salt, I try to have a few handfuls of raw almonds first. Maybe I'll still go for salty stuff afterwards, but I'll probably be filled sooner and will have gotten a healthier snack with the almonds.
I once ate a whole box of teddy grahams as a snack in high school. I ended up just fine. Of course if I did that now (age 40) I'd gain 5 lbs overnight.
