Part of running is diet. You don't have to be on a diet, but you have to watch what you eat. I eat ok... with the exception of my Tex-Mex binges. I was told by a friend today that I wouldn't need those energy bars before a run (as much) if I ate better. And slept better. I felt like a slug after that comment, but I can see how it could make sense. So, I did some research to find out if there were any "energy foods" out there that I wouldn't be opposed to added in to my diet:
- Oatmeal - Yes!
- Almonds - I already eat these but they are so tiny. How can something so tiny pack any kind of punch?- Yogurt - I already got this
- Baby Kitties - I wouldn't recommend this one...
- Fruit - I'm never without bananas
- Migas - ahh, ha...just kidding ;)
- Popcorn - Got this...
- Hummus - Got this..... :/
- Veggies - Got---hey wait a second, I eat all of these foods already.
What about energy food sources?
- Whole Grains - I have YET to find a 100% Whole Grain loaf of bread at HEB. I guess a trip to Whole Foods is in order
- Iron - You mean licking an iron gate isn't enough? I have eat iron, too?
- Vitamin E - I bought some Vitamin E pills because I heard they helped with skin health. Double score!
- Zinc - Just saying the word makes me feel more energetic. I know you're suppose to take zinc when you're sick...guess more spinach is in order.
