My immediate reaction is that you need to consult one. I try to avoid posing as a food expert because I do not have an RD (for Registered Dietitian) behind my name. I am unsure if there is a meal plan for me to look at to get an idea of what improved nutrition for me might be. On my long-run days, I do eat more, usually at least 2,000 calories along with what I ingest during my long run. All this washed down with 80 ounces of water throughout the day! That is about 1,500 daily calories during the week.
For dinner, I usually have a bowl of rice, chicken and a salad. For a snack, I might have a rice cake with peanut butter or fruit.
For lunch, I eat strawberry yogurt, hummus and pretzels, string cheese stick, cashew cookie, and a dash of green pepper. Typically, I eat an English muffin with a tablespoon of peanut butter for a pre-workout breakfast, a chocolate chunk protein bar, and grapes post-workout. I completed a half marathon this past Sunday, but I am unsure how much I should be eating and which foods I should introduce into my diet as I move into more and more intense long runs? I weigh 127 pounds, stand 5 feet 3 inches tall and am healthy, although a picky eater. I am currently training for my first full marathon in October.
