hello
i'm currently reorganising my food diary (feel free to take a peek) following watching 'fathead' and reading around macronutrients needed to train for an endurance hike of 100k.
My typical day looks like this:
Breakfast 1
30 minute run
Breakfast 2
housework/college work
lunch
housework/college work
snack
housework/college work
dinner
cycle/walk 5 miles
3 hour shift at work
snack
cycle/walk 5 miles
and I was looking for advice on how I should spread my macro nutrients throughout the day. My thoughts so far are:
breakfast 1 - carb based (banana)
breakfast 2 - protein/fat based - eggs, meat, fruit, yoghurt etc
lunch - balance consisting of protein carbs and veggies
snack - not sure but it's usually a handful of nuts or a rice cake
dinner - carb based - pasta or rice with meat and veg sauce
snack - protein/fat based, often something with oats in it
Does anyone have any advice? are my ideas right? should i change what i plan to do?
I planned my meals to give me carbs before periods of exercise, for energy, and proteins and fats after, to build and repair muscle.
