Well, yesterday, I met up with some friends who are training for a marathon to do an 8-mile run. I actually ended up running 9.2 miles. So, that sort of ruled the day where my eating was concerned. I started my eating window at 10:00 a.m. and finished around 8:00 p.m. I usually find that when I run a long run like that, that I spend the day catching up on my calories. Here’s what I ate yesterday:
Clean Protein bar, energy gels (while I was running), electrolyte water (while I was running), Mediterranean chickpea salad with 4 oz of salmon, Oikos triple zero yogurt with goji berries and cacao, and 1/3 cup of Elizabeth’s grain free granola. For supper I had 2 scrambled eggs on Ezekiel Toast with smashed avocado and a no sugar brownie from Keto and Co brownie mix. Around 8:00, I had a clean protein bar.
I had pretty good energy running, but then again, I had eaten a good dinner the night before and fueled pretty well. Lesson learned? Fast longer on low workout days and Fast shorter with good fueling on long workout days.
