When I am running any where from 4-8 miles a day, I have to approach the way I eat differently.
I found eating a high protein diet is really important.
I also found that have a additional mid afternoon snack is necessary.
My favorite running foods.....
Peanut Butter!!!
It is high protein- I eat it on Bananas, pretzels, etc.
Bananas
Bananas are high in Potassium- which does amazing things for your muscles!!!
Wasabi Peas
This is my fun snack- good protein and tasty!!
Propel Water
I love Propel because it has some flavor. I started drinking this when I worked full time and went to school. I love it!! My favorite is Strawberry Kiwi.
Seltzer Water
I buy this in Bulk at Wegmans ... you can never have enough water when you are running.
Skim Sting Cheese
Also another wegmans purchase- made with Skim milk this is a good Calcium snack. As women we need calcium!! Healthy Bones are important.
Greek Yogurt
This is a good healthy snack- also a goof source of calcium!!!
Kashi GO Lean
Good source of protein and also my daily vitamins.
And finally... Meat.
Since I have started I have been craving lean proteins like salmon, steak.
Happy running + Happy Eating = Healthy Body
