Hi everyone.
I usually take 1400 calories a day at maintenance. I just finished my first half marathon yesterday night (night race) and thanks to my heart rate monitor, I was able to guesstimate how much calories I burned. So I ate back all those burned calories.
My question is, does my calorie intake go back to normal (1400 calories) the following day or do I need to eat a bit more than 1400 post 21km run.
The reason I asked is because this morning, after I woke up, I felt hungry so I ate a bigger breakfast than my usual breakfast but I am still hungry after the breakfast. So I wonder if I should eat more or should I just keep to my daily diet and eat again as per normal day caloric intake.
Thank you for helping me. Any suggestion on food to eat post running (the first 72hrs) will be good too!
