    Anyone here has had a chronic patellar injury? Did using a knew brace to run help you?

    I’m planning on getting back to running, but not at the risk of hurting my knee. Lately I’ve been using mostly the elliptical as it is gentle on the knee.

    Thank you

    What do your diets look like??

    I’m struggling a lot with my diet. I’ve been eating higher protein and splitting my remaining macros between carbs and fat and that worked great with how much lifting I was doing. Then when I started researching diet for endurance/cardio based workouts it says to eat mostly carbs. When I eat more carbs I just get tired! They’re good carbs too.. rice, sweet potatoes, oatmeal etc.

    Not sure if I should stick with it for a while or go back to what I was doing. Or adjust it until I get what I feel best eating.

    Macros were 40p/30f/30c
    Now 30p/25f/45c

    Mine's pretty bad. This running group is very wide-ranging, for instance "Math" came up awhile ago. Imagine that.

    In MFP the number one tool for diet and nutrition is to log all of your food into the Food Diary. Do you do that? Second, open it up and share your Food Diary with "MFP Friends" or "Everyone." That's this website's gold standard for dealing with nutrition and food choices. I need to take my own suggestion. :)

    Do you log your food in the MFP Food Diary? Do you share it?

    I'm in too. It's a good thing.

    @chris_in_cal good going Sir! I, absolutely over-indulged last half of December. And then some.

    @kbrown1527 your macros look fine, but food / diet varies widely for every person. You really just have to experiment with what works best for you and try to stay consistent (enough) to make it work for you.
    Good Luck!!!!
