Finding the Right Runners Meals


We all know that runners have to eat often and runners meals are one of the most important factors in a runner’s diet. Eating when you are hungry is one of your body’s signals that tells your brain you need food, and if you don’t get enough fuel in your body it becomes a problem. You want to give your body what it needs, but you also want to limit how much you eat so you don’t put on too much weight. A runner’s best bet is to make runners meals as easy and convenient as possible.

If you are like most people who run regularly, then your average runner’s meal consists of very little in the way of healthy food. Most runners’ meals consist of lots of pasta, chicken or whatever nutrition powder you can grab a bag of at the local drug store, and some type of sugar-free or low fat milkshake. Most runners say they rarely eat fruit and you should really try to avoid fruit when you are a runner unless you absolutely love it and cannot get enough.

The best solution to this problem is to make runners meals on your own at home. This will ensure that you are eating a well balanced and nutritious meal. You will be able to control exactly what goes into your meal and you will be able to choose the ingredients that you like the best. Making runners meals at home also lets you make them as you like, and you don’t have to worry about any frozen or pre-cooked foods.

Some people choose to make runners meals at home based on what their trainer has to say. If that is the case, then you will want to go online and do some research. Look for runners who are eating what they need without cheating. There are some runners who swear by the Indian food called dosa. Other runners who live and die by blueberries and strawberries, so if you see anyone who is missing these foods from their diet you might want to consider giving them a helping hand. There are plenty of websites that allow you to find information about runners meals and which foods work best for different people.

When you decide that you want to make runners meals at home, you will have to figure out how much food you will need and how many times per day. You can take a vitamin pill daily and eat food that contains the vitamins you are taking. Make sure that you know how much protein you should be getting from your food each day. Sometimes runners will have to eat more at lunch and less later in the day. There is a lot of variability in the foods that runners eat so the only way to know for sure is to experiment with yourself.

One way that you can make runners meals more exciting is to make them with spices. Sprinkle in some hot sauce and some Cayenne pepper to kick it up a notch. If you have trouble finding good spicy foods, you can always make them with some ground beef or chicken breast. Another way that you can make a meal that tastes great and is healthy is to use a food processor to mince some ingredients. Many runners enjoy garlic and onions as a snack and they make a delicious meal as well. It is important to get the right balance of protein and carbohydrates that your body needs for optimum performance.
