Alisonlcarver Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I am very active. I am training for a marathon and exercise 5 days per week--cardio only. I run anywhere from 4 miles to 14 miles a day. Two days a week are rest days. I eat a fairly large amount of starchy carbs from sweet potatoes and butternut squash. What are your thoughts on eating these on rest days? A typical day (veggies only listed here) for me includes butternut squash with sugar-free ketchup at breakfast, lots of salad veggies for lunch often including beets, and a sweet potato with dinner. Like I said, lots of starch. I also eat protein and fat at each meal, to satiety. I also eat 0-3 pieces of fruit a day, and usually 1-2 on average.

You're post Whole30, training hard and feeling great - I think you've got the hang of it. Whole30 is about listening to your body's signals and adapting your food intake accordingly - NOBODY can give you more expert feedback than you.
