  • This. For me, those foods are high-protein foods: pumpkin protein pancakes, peanut butter/pb2, Greek yogurt, cheese, beans, meat, high protein cereals, etc. They keep me away from the kitchen for hours, without even thinking about food (really!) and I'm historically an overeater (to the extent that I'm about 5-10 pounds…

  • Was it extra hot outside? That can make a moderate run feel like you're gonna die (if you're like me). A seven-miler in the summer is harder for me than a 12-miler in the winter, and I've just had to accept that and plan accordingly.

  • Ignoring the trouble with the idea that you can gain 100+ pounds without overeating, here are some ideas related to your specific question - how to get more calories through eating healthy* foods without more volume: 1. No low fat anything, so for instance eat whole milk yogurt 2. Granola - so, so many calories in such a…

  • I agree with the above. Plan for it and work it in. For me, it's much, much easier to "plan for it and work it in" when I've gotten enough fat and protein in my diet. That really helps me stick to my calorie allowance during the day and night. I tend to eat more than I plan to when I'm deficient in protein and working out.

  • I'll leave the scientific replies to the very knowledgeable MFP veterans and just give you my opinion: 1. You went from 0 to 25-42 miles per week in 5 weeks? Good lord, that's gotta be stressing your body out. It took me longer than that to finish c25k! But maybe I'm misreading you? 2. If your problem is that, despite…
    in Five weeks intensive running and no results - I need help Comment by sltovey July 2014
  • My stats are similar to yours: 5'3", 117 pounds, working on body recomposition through a body weight lifting program 4x per week for about 3 weeks now. (I also run 10-15 miles per week.) Finally this week I increased my protein due to being constantly ravenous, going over calories at least twice a week (by a LOT), and…
    in Feeling bloated from upping my protein Comment by sltovey July 2014
  • For a while, I was getting scary symptoms after long runs of 7+ miles - blurred vision ("aura"), loss of concentration, and even word-finding difficulty on one occasion. After extensive work ups by my PCP and by a neurologist, I was diagnosed with "atypical migraine" (even though I had no pain). It seemed to be triggered…
