Bethany Lannon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I am just starting my marathon training and I know my calorie needs are increasing.... Should I stick to meal template and add in 1-2 mini meals or should I make my meals larger and avoid the mini meals? I've already started to notice my energy lagging due to not compensating for my increased activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I probably would try tipping the higher end of the food template first and then maybe add a mini meal or two if you are still hungry. Make sure you are getting enough starchy vegetables too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physibeth Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 That would be where eating on the higher end of the food template would come in. Eating 2 palm sized portions of protein and 2 servings of fat rather than 1. The principles of eat when you are hungry until you are satisfied still apply.
