To any runners out there, what do you do to cross train, and how big of a difference do you find it makes on your running?

Do to lack of items in the house and never having had anything but packaged instant oatmeal before, I opted for 1 tsp of brown sugar, a bit of cinammon and 1/2 banana sliced in it...One thing I really liked was the very small…

But when I'm really on track with my food diary I have so much trouble using up all of my calories without going over on carbs/fat/sugar etc. What does everyone eat to fullfill their calorie requirement without going over on others?
