K, based on how much I exercise and my size and being a male I should be consuming at least 3000 calories/day. However I usually can only manage to eat about 2000, and if I eat 3000 or more I feel really full and gross. Anyone else have this problem?
I am not underweight (for a runner that is), so would increasing caloric intake cause me to gain weight?
Don't worry about the numbers. Not everyone has the same metabolism. If you're eating enough to feel full, then don't gouge yourself just to meet the calorie number that the calculators say you should meet.
I don't understand the problem. From your message, it appears your weight is fine and you are not hungry for more food. So why try to eat more?
The thing is, a lot of time I feel I am lacking energy on runs, and I don't think I recover properly and as a result my legs are often fried and i am tired a lot of the time. I'll probably start to drink more gatorade for extra calories..
eat more peanut butter, clearly. solution for everything. best food in the world and keeps you going for killer workouts.
probably not eating the right kinds of foods
It sounds like your problem is in your running form, not your food intake. Make sure you have addressed your biomechanical efficiency, good form will allow you to train smart and hard with minimal leg fatigue. Good luck!
