  1. I would think you need more fuel? This is all high quality good food… but I would think you’d benefit from one or two calorie dense snacks. I appreciated that you got all the sauce out of jar… that brand is crazy expensive!

  2. Thats the reason why you don’t run like the Kenyans because you live for youtube! Wanna be runners LOL

  3. PRO PRO TIP: add some pasta water to the jar instead of from the faucet, the starch will help give your sauce a really nice consistency.

  4. One thing that's common about elite distance runners is that despite running 100+ mpw, they still eat WAY less than the average American, whether it's because they restrict themselves to stay lean or they just don't feel hungry for whatever reason. Contrary to popular belief, the elite don't stay lean because they have high metabolism or because they just run a lot. They are watching what they eat. Don't let anyone tell you that you can eat whatever you want if you are trying to reach your potential as an athlete. Fuel the engine, but in healthy, controlled ways.

  5. I'm just looking at your pasta dish and how you are sharing this between at least 4 of you. I cooked something of similar size last night between myself and one other person and I am female. No wonder Im getting fat.

  6. Peppers should be last if at all since your not supposed to cook vitamin C veggies at high heat or they loose all the nutrition

  7. Dude this is such down to Earth simple food, even if you switch the bagel for oatmeal you mentioned, still. So you say you have ice cream if you want to, I'm sure that having simple carbs like that from time to time won't ruin your health (especially at this calorie expenditure), but aren't you feeling bad after eating the stuff?

  8. I get worried eating carb heavy meals at night even with a run the next morning. Just feel guilty and worried about fat gain but know it’s limiting me. I’m relatively new to running about 5 months now. I seem to hit a bit of a fatigue wall around 8km. Usually run in the morning and have a milky coffee before I set off
