Well the testing results must have been wrong or something because the labels are inaccurate and very confusing..

Well they have the exact same ingredients and have them in the same order as well? So I guess it just confuses me a bit

Well then shouldn't that can of beans be more calories then the can on the left?

Does your grocery outlet still have those cereal bars from quest available that you know of?? Been trying to find any that are still around like crazy!

Oatmeal. Have had it for my first meal for months/years and not sick of it whatsoever. Love it ;)

Never heard of it but I'll definitely look into it more thanks!

Yeah, I guess I haven't been on top of my nutrition because I've been so busy lately. I'm just going to take in alot more carbs and see how I feel. Thanks alot!

Do you think it would benefit me to take in more calories+carbs in the day before a long run(9+) then?

Mmm I would say most days I run 8-13+miles and the rest may be shorter. I'll lay it out so it's easier Sun-10 miles Mon- 11 miles Tues-9 miles Wed-5 or 6 miles Thurs-rest Fri- 7 miles Sat-13+ miles There are weeks I go lower but this is just a general layout of it.

Well I never run fasted. I have my first meal, wait an hour and then go for my run. I need the fuel or else I will be hungry and dizzy during my runs. I think I will take your suggestion though It may be just taking an extra rest day and possibly upping my calories. Although I've had my calories the same for weeks with…

I've had that appear in the single serve tuna packets but I wouldn't worry about it though, It won't harm you. Although I'm a bit curious as to what it is as well haha

Would a 14-15 hour fast be enough to throw off my energy levels? I never run faster though. I always eat before I run

I actually get about 8-9 hours of sleep so its actually not a problem haha but I run 5-13+ miles each day. I guess it just depends on how much feeling that day

Unfortunately I can't either because my fasting period is working with my schedule very well right now(for work, activities etc.) and it's going to complicate things way too much for me to change them.

Thanks for the info. Do you eat the same food everyday since you switch up thr amount of meals you have?

Sounds great. glad to hear it worked for you but I'm curious, when you were training for half marathons, how many meals did tou have in your 8 hour window?

Okay now that worries me :/ i really want to try it out but if it's going to negatively impact my running performance them I'm very hesitant..

I understand. We're all different so it's hard for anyone to tell me what would work for me but i honestly just want to hear how others would approach this. I just posted a new question on the forum explaining my new schedule. If you could possibly read it and help me out in anyway I'd truly appreciate it :)

Well I was thinking about doing that and experimenting but I do like the foods I eat now to be honest. If I wrote out my old schedule/the foods i ate to how my new schedule looks could you give me some suggestions/your approach as to how you would try it? Maybe switch up the foods or times? I may make a different post…

I'm having to change this because of my new job on Monday so I'm trying to schedule my meals as close to that same schedule of eating so I could still have that same impact of satiety/performance/staying on track overall. But I'm figuring out it may not work out so well and I was wondering how intermittent fasting would be…

That's kinda what I'm wanting to control, I know when I eat will impact my overall satiety/workouts/staying on track which is why I asked that previous question. I feel like I didn't word my question right though so let me explain..im a volume eater and I eat about 5 meals a day. My breakfast, lunch and dinner are all…

New job that I start on Monday so I kinda have to move my schedule around a bit

So would a shorter eating window be more practical for someone who is trying to lose weight? And a longer eating window be better for someone to gain? I know it's all individualized but would that be more effective especially with having a lot of calories to fill or less calories to fill your day?

I run about 6 to 14 miles, 5-6 times a week typically

Yeah I tend to overthink things lol but honestly, I'm just afraid of any negative effects. Especially in terms of my running performance. I like to have energy for my runs and just don't want to be sluggish throughout it.

Is having alot of food in a small period of time bad? As in is there any negative health effects?

That concerns me now..im a long distance runner and I usually go for a run after my very first meal..i don't want to have low energy before I go out for a run. Does this mean I can't fast for 16 hours since this will happen?

I thought the weight per gram (57 grams) would stay the same even when frozen and then thawed out. They were 57 before I froze them but I was hoping they would stay that way when I thawed them out

I know the calories wouldn't change but what I'm asking is since I froze them when they were 57 grams, will they still be 57 grams when I take them out of the freezer and thaw it out? 57grams frozen and 57grams thawed out?

So is there anyway I could be close toaccurate with it? Even though it may not be fully?
