Hi All!

I had my sixth month follow up with my nutritionist Tuesday and had several questions answered, especially those concerning how I should eat to train to run. I am running quite a bit lately and am starting to train for my first half marathon so the answers were very helpful.

I had several questions for her that I needed answered. Questions such as:

Do I need to count net carbohydrates or gross?

Am I eating too much?

What should my ideal weight be; what should I be aiming for?

How should I nutritionally balance my meals?

How should I nutritionally prepare for race days?

Is it okay to use fuel gels during an endurance race?

How should I eat to recover after a race is finished?

I really don't want want to retype or copy paste what I have already written, so here is the link to the post about the conversation with the nutritionist on my blog.
