I am not trying to lose weight during this, but I also do not want to gain weight either. <br/></span></p><p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I usually eat around 1400 calories and run 2-3 times a week... Now I am running 3 times week with one long run, and possibly a day or 2 weight training or doing other cardio. On days that I run I do eat extra calories, but I am not sure how much more I should be eating to keep my energy up especially for long runs. Is it ok to eat a lower amount on days that I do not run, or should I be eating a more consistent amount each day of the week?&#160; </span></p><p><span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Can anyone send some advice or even a sample training diet? It would be greatly appreciated!<br/></span></p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:dc1f07f4-6f02-43ee-89e8-250a3611672a] --> Sun, 21 Oct 2012 17:42:47 GMT guest http://community.active.com/message/1275273?tstart=0#1275273 2012-10-21T17:42:47Z 8 months, 20 hours ago 0
