Food Scale Recommendations?

Stronglifts 5x5 with C25K
I was wondering if doing both of these programs at the same time is a smart idea. I was thinking of doing C25K in the mornings before work because I prefer morning running and doing SL5x5 in the afternoons on MWF. Not sure if it is smart to do them on the same day or should I alternate days and give myself a day off?

Can I trust an…
