Hey all! I’m back on the app! 
I’m starting my marathon training now and I need help setting up my nutrition goals. Any runners out there have any % tips on nutrition goal set ups?? Let me know thanks!

i go for 0.8g protein per lb of bodyweight, fat makes up 30-35% of my calories and the rest is carbs - which works out at 40-45%.
i found i need a decent amount of fat to ward off the runger, but i also only run half marathon distance.0 -
Great I’ll take a look over there! Thanks0
