    Not sure how much to eat while working out 5x a week doing weights and training for a run. I feel like I gain weight which really disappoints me.

    My main struggle is addictive eating. I have been working very hard on discipline by using MFP as a guide for portion/calorie control.

    No problems with workouts. I do 1-2 hours of cardio daily, 30 minutes of strength training three times a week and Ballroom/Latin Dance 3-4 times a week.

    Poor shoulder mobility and shoulder pain has been my biggest issue. I have worked hard on getting my shoulders more mobile but it is a long process and certain overhead movements still give me fits.

    On the eating side my biggest challenge is never feeling full. In order to feel full I need to eat over 3,000 calories in one sitting, to the point of feeling sick. Not finishing a plate full of food does not happen with me.

    On the exercise front my hardest goal is being able to do a pull-up. I've been doing core work and upper body weight training but it hasn't seemed to help.

    I'm not entirely sure of the best fueling strategy for a 50 mile ultra with a 10K and Half Marathon the following morning.

    What sort of suggestions would you have?

    Interested in the answer to the above. An additional question related to endurance training: Do you recommend taking in electrolytes from a separate source and intake interval from your calorie replacement source during races, or is a combined calorie/electrolyte fueling strategy adequate? Is the strategy weather dependent?

    My goal is to optimize performance during long course events. I have been working on this over the last 3 years.
