Energy food for runners without weight gain from the carbs

ENERGY FOOD FOR RUNNERS WITHOUT WEIGHT GAIN FROM THE CARBS

         

A marathon runner: I'm training for a triathlon

Vitamin souk         : You need energy and body strength - energy food for runners

A marathon runner: I've heard that card loading can cause weight gain. What can I eat leading up to a race that will give me the energy I need but help me loose weight too?

Endurance events like triathlons and marathons do require carb loading to help maximize your body's ability to perform at its best for as long as possible. But there can be a price. 

Certainly, on the day of the race your body will be burning energy like there's no tomorrow, but in the days and weeks leading up to the race, you won't be using nearly as much energy. Still, you most likely require more food to sustain training, so the trick is finding that balance like you say of having just enough fuel, energy, carbs and calories to keep you going but not so much that you can't loose weight (or that you even gain some)

A STUDY REVEALS THAT:

• A healthy person needs 130grams of carbo/day to stay healthy
• To prepare for a race, an athletic requires 8grams of carbo for every kg of his weight
• For a 77kg athletic, he will require 680grams of carbo....THAT'S A LOT!
• FYI...680grams of carbo = 2700 calories!

AND THEREIN LIES THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THIS IS WEIGHT GAIN AS YOU NEED THE ENERGY ON A DAILY BASIS TO PREPARE FOR THE RACE.......

THAT'S JUST CARBS, AND NOT YOUR PROTEIN OR FAT!!!!

You need a balance diet on a day to day basis. You can obtain this from your dietitian.
