Runner's Diet (Josh)

A runner's diet is not a heavy diet. It is a relatively light diet. You need your weight * 13 of calories if you are going to keep medium exercise. You need to evenly weigh these calories between Carbs Protein and Fat.
For your source of Carbs you should mainly choose Fruits and Low starch vegetables. Fruits have 60 cals per serving and low starch vegetables have 25 cals per serving. You can also choose with caution High starch vegetables, pasta/rice and bread/cereal/cracker. Remember to eat these with caution. All of these have 80 cals per serving.
For fats you can choose Full Calories meals or reduced calorie meals. Full calorie meals include oils, nuts, peanut butter, etc. All of these contain 50 calories per serving. Reduced calorie meals include light mayonnaise, butter, etc. Each of these contain 25 calories per serving.
An important fact is that you should distrubute your calorie and carbonhydrate intake during the day. You want to eat alot of carbohydrates before you want to be active and run. You should plan ahead.
