Thanks Sage for sharing this video. I am a newly converted to being a vegetarian and reaping the benefits of doing so. It just boils down to I don't enough, I don't take enough calories in a day. So seeing what you consume is a great eye opener. Keep up with the great videos. Cheers!
I found you through looking up running videos (I ran in high school, now 3 decades later, I'm starting to run again), and then saw that you are on a vegan diet...awesome! You're an inspiration to me....
Thanks for such a funny, smart, and honest video. I love that part when Sandi said, "No, you have that twice a week!" I've been running since 15 and getting back into it after a little break, and also making that big transition to a plant-based diet so your videos have been very inspirational! Keep those diet videos going because they really keep me going. Those edamame burgers look delicious. Any chance that you or Sandi can share the recipe? You guys should do a plant-base runner's cookbook!
awesome !!! this is hilarious, we laughed so hard watching this together!! Being a vegan running couple also, we eat pretty much just like you and Sandy and even do the same things, Gwen eats all the ice cream, Katie tries to be much healthier! So awesome, keep it up!
Busted, Sage... Sandi caught you on the 'special treat' classification..... LOVE this video... we need more of these!!! You're welcome to come to our house ANY TIME and I'll provide all the ingredients if you'll help me prepare it!!! Next time you're down in the Springs???!! :)
Trick for fast rice put in a microwave safe covered container with small amount of venting then wash rice and finally fill until water is up to first knuckle on index finger when touching the bottom then put in microwave on high for 9-12 min depending on power I us normally do this with 1.5-3 cups of rice to start
Lindsey and I eat very similar. I like smoothies because they are easy to digest liquid calories. The 'hardest' part of training for me is eating enough plant-based calories. Not necessarily a bad thing though.
I love watching what other runners (or fitness people) eat! I have so much fun in my kitchen making new meals, prepping food, etc. It's very relaxing to me and makes me know I am fueling my body with quality, healthy, whole food. A question completely off the topic of diet: how do you avoid overuse injuries when you run so much?!? I am in awe. Thanks for wonderful content on a wonderful channel. Susan (Loveland, CO)
P.S. I have a degree in Nutrition and you did GREAT! I noticed you didn't eat a ton of fruit on this day. Lots of veggies so no big deal, just an observation....
Hi Sage...I love your "What I Eat in a Day" videos. Keep them coming. I'm new to your channel, & I love it! Tons of great information & inspiration. Have a great day! :)
Sage I appreciate your videos. I have run for many years-over 25-starting out as a cross country runner in high school. I was never a gifted runner but I know that I always feel so much better and alive once I get into the meat of my run and after. I run in the mornings around 6 am to escape the Texas heat. For many years I ate a bagel and coffee about an hour before I ran. I had problems with gas and bloating but around halfway through my run had more energy. For the past 3 years I have been running on an empty stomach in the morning between 8 and 12 miles sometimes up to 16. I only drink black coffee and some water and am out the door an hour later. I have had mixed results. I don't have the same gas and digestion issues but I experience tightness in my quads-particularly my left quadricep. Do you have any suggestions?
I'd say the quad pain doesn't have to do with your diet. When I ran marathons at Hansons I used to do the same: plain coffee and then straight into a 12-18 mile kind of run/workout. Usually after about 18-20 miles at high intensity I'd need a gel (and then eat a huge brunch afterwards). I'd check shoes/running form for the quad pain.
A few months back, I went to a vegetable store and asked if they sold edamame.. they had no idea what it was, they thought I was making it up lol..went to another, they never heard of it.. so I gave up on my search for it :(. those burgers look so good!...
Thanks for sharing Sage...I have been eating plant based for the past 8 months and noticing big results in my training. The Ben & Jerry s is not in Canada yet but loving the Cashew icecream by So Delicious and I hear ya, usually finish one off in a hour, lol
Great meals, You are no superhuman after all. :D I use date syrup, brown rice syrup or barley malt extract as a substitute for honey. (previously agave)
That all looks delicious and healthy. My question is about the beer. Do you ever find that beer too close to bed disrupts sleep, or messes with your metabolism, or causes changes in your... let's say "internal rhythms"? Thanks for a great video -- the edamame burgers look great, I think I'll adopt that one...
hi sage. thanks for the vlogs. I've been practicing vegan diet for some time now. i struggle a lot on what kinda meal i should prepare. do u guys have a cook book or something.
Guys, I'd love to see on your website few (freq. updated), vegan/plant based recipes, meal plans etc. (as those burgers, slurp!!). Just like it is on some other (The Buff something something ;)), 'fitness' oriented YT channels. It could be really advantageous (YT search algorithms would direct more ppl to your channel)!!! Btw Sage, your RRR100 training looks awesome!!!
Sage, please help. After my runs I'm always craving coke or something cold and with sugar. it's killing me as I'm trying to improve my running not become slower
Super new to your channel, so I don't know exactly what your dietary regiment is, but if you're looking for a vegan option to use instead of honey, you can try agave nectar. :)
That was very interesting. If have never seen anyone eating this much tofu in one meal. :-) Do you eat any fruit at all? I eat like 5-6 pieces per day. Is that too much?
(off topic) Hey Sage, I'm a 19 year old college cross country runner who runs 23:03 in 4 miles. I have so much to improve on but do you think I have what it takes to become a sponsored elite runner like you? I'm inspired by you to make it big one day.
I haven't added it up (probably should for the budget). It's quite a bit though. (Is there anything better to invest in though?!...well maybe some stocks with high yield returns). We honestly do buy a lot of organic stuff and it's not cheap. Beans and rice and bananas and a lot of veggies can be pretty affordable for a lot of people though. Aside from the pre-packaged waffles and almond butters and ben and jerry's (quite expensive), the cost can be brought down. We cook and prepare our own meals and don't go out to eat much as well. It certainly helps to also have health food sponsors (i.e. Flora, Ugo Bars, Trail Butter, etc).
I typically spent about $110-130 biweekly. but I don't buy organic simply because I can't afford it. if its something you want to do, a good hack is to go to your expensive grocery stores and hit up the reduced racks. they often put fruits/veggies on there after 2/3 days even if they're still good. and I also buy bulk when it comes to rice, pasta and beans/peas/lentils. it gets expensive when you start getting into mock meats and cheeses and stuff. but with a little research and creativity you can get what you need on whole foods. but fair warning eat and don't be afraid to eat. haha!!! when I'm training I sometimes can't handle how much food I actually need to eat.
hey sage, i wanna make the transition to go vegan, do you have anything that could help me learning on that. any website or book, because i want to stay healthy and get all the nutrients my body needs. tanx !!
+axlrosea675 without disrespecting, it's amazing how you guys are not aware that bees are dying off because we are stealing their honey. Earth's ecosystem collapses without pollinators such as bees.
Sorry Erik, but it just not true what you are claiming. If you dont want to eat honey cause of what ever reason, so be it. But dont put out false information with the argument ... "google it"...
Hey guys this doesn't really have anything to do with video. But i wanted to know if takeing a ice bath with some stretches before hand would get rid of a really tight calf??
From my experience, it looks like you're either using your calves muscles too much instead of your gluts and thighs, or maybe your feet position hyper extends your calves. If only one calf hurts, you might have some balance issues as well. In short, work on your biomecanics.
most people take or sell their calf to the slaughterhouse. unless your young bovine friend has an undying fear of ice water and yoga I think you should resort to different methods. See if there are any humane societies that take in farm animals. Best of luck!
+ninjaguy123 On long runs I do start to feel like blood flow in my gluts and thighs start to slow down and all that. If that is the problem do you know anything I can do to fix that?
This is just for information sake......but no such thing as 98% vegan, or 98% vegetarian...but Sage rocks, and it is fantastic that he is vegetarian, and hopefully he can go the extra 2% and be part of the fastest growing social justice movement of recent times! So close Sage, SOOOO close!
Dear Sage , been following you on youtube for some months and im a great fun of your work. im somewhat surprised that it seems (only seems) you may not be getting sufficient proteins and over all nutrients (taking into account the massive workload you undertake) . it is a mere subjective view for this video. i may be wrong all together. blessings
Hank g You don't have to eat the exact same things as Sage to be vegan.... There are a lot of meat eaters out there who eat worse than Sage but you don't use that as a reason not to eat meat. How convenient.
Well, this was a sad watch compared to some of the quality content he puts out. Oh well...just don't feed your babies as if they're vegan, starving your kids to death is illegal in most countries.
"It's a special treat, only have it twice a week."
Had me laughing so hard! You work hard Sage, you deserve it. Keep on rocking!
The way he said it was so funny. Great video Sage!
I will have it twice a day
I love that non dairy Ben and Jerry’s too but don’t burn enough calories to eat it often - ha
Would still LOVE to see Sandi's "What I eat in a day"! Great stuff!
Thanks Sage for sharing this video. I am a newly converted to being a vegetarian and reaping the benefits of doing so. It just boils down to I don't enough, I don't take enough calories in a day. So seeing what you consume is a great eye opener. Keep up with the great videos. Cheers!
Sage sure loves his Coffee and Waffles in the morning lol (u know this if your a dedicated viewer of sages)
🐱
Awesome stuff, always interesting to know what a pro runner eats on the daily!
I found you through looking up running videos (I ran in high school, now 3 decades later, I'm starting to run again), and then saw that you are on a vegan diet...awesome! You're an inspiration to me....

Please Sage do more "What I ate in a day!" videos :D
Love them

If he eats this healthy then chances are he wouldnt use a microwave.
Love this! nutrition doesn't have to be hard, too often we over complicate things.

Yes what I eat in a day vids are good especially from top level athletes!!
Looks good! I would boil the broccoli beforehand then toss them into the veg's so that way they will cook evenly.
I always love these videos! Yum yum yum!
Hi Sage...I love your "What I Eat in a Day" videos. Keep them coming. I'm new to your channel, & I love it! Tons of great information & inspiration. Have a great day! :)
Great video sage! Out of interest what does Sandi have for breakfast - is it on her channel? Oatmeal based breakfast?
Sage I appreciate your videos. I have run for many years-over 25-starting out as a cross country runner in high school. I was never a gifted runner but I know that I always feel so much better and alive once I get into the meat of my run and after. I run in the mornings around 6 am to escape the Texas heat.

how does your eating differ on rest days? do you hold back?
Mooore of this, please!
Checked out your online coaching, but would it be possible to get something towards the 10/5k distances?
A few months back, I went to a vegetable store and asked if they sold edamame.. they had no idea what it was, they thought I was making it up lol..went to another, they never heard of it.. so I gave up on my search for it :(. those burgers look so good!...
That first dinner looked amazing.
Thanks for sharing Sage...I have been eating plant based for the past 8 months and noticing big results in my training. The Ben & Jerry s is not in Canada yet but loving the Cashew icecream by So Delicious and I hear ya, usually finish one off in a hour, lol
Good vid, Sage. Just don't bash on yourself whenever you indulge on something unhealthy, it's still a good diet. We all have our cravings
Great meals, You are no superhuman after all. :D I use date syrup, brown rice syrup or barley malt extract as a substitute for honey. (previously agave)
great video, I didn't see too much fruit in your diet (bananas?...); any particular reason?, trying to avoid any sort of sugar?, thanks
That all looks delicious and healthy. My question is about the beer. Do you ever find that beer too close to bed disrupts sleep, or messes with your metabolism, or causes changes in your... let's say "internal rhythms"?
Thanks for a great video -- the edamame burgers look great, I think I'll adopt that one...
Jock Gilchrist After a 17 mile day you can sleep even after drinking coffee.
P.S. darn it, make sure you taper right for the RRR!!!!! I'm rooting for a big finish there!!! :)
hi sage. thanks for the vlogs. I've been practicing vegan diet for some time now. i struggle a lot on what kinda meal i should prepare. do u guys have a cook book or something.

Hey Sage, I havn't read all the comments below so I might be asking the same question as someone else. How much water a day do you drink?
Love your videos - thanks!
Have you ever consider a high carb vegan approach? Like Carl Lewis did using the book - Starch Solution
Hey sage, have you ever heard of microfiber reduction? If so, what are you're thoughts on it?
Special treat, only twice a week 😂
Sage, please help. After my runs I'm always craving coke or something cold and with sugar. it's killing me as I'm trying to improve my running not become slower
Enjoyed this as a fellow vegan athlete! Have you ever tried agave instead of honey?
Sage, on average, do you stick to three meals a day?
Super new to your channel, so I don't know exactly what your dietary regiment is, but if you're looking for a vegan option to use instead of honey, you can try agave nectar. :)
Very good food, but I'm suprised it's this little. I have to eat this much running 3--4 times a week (10 k each).
Do more eating videos and give ideas for new runners to eat thank you
That was very interesting. If have never seen anyone eating this much tofu in one meal. :-)
Do you eat any fruit at all? I eat like 5-6 pieces per day. Is that too much?
(off topic) Hey Sage, I'm a 19 year old college cross country runner who runs 23:03 in 4 miles. I have so much to improve on but do you think I have what it takes to become a sponsored elite runner like you? I'm inspired by you to make it big one day.
Lol....raid the fridge bro....love the vids....👍
Hi Sage, how much money do you spend on food in average per month? Btw every meal looks awesome :-)
I haven't added it up (probably should for the budget). It's quite a bit though. (Is there anything better to invest in though?!...well maybe some stocks with high yield returns). We honestly do buy a lot of organic stuff and it's not cheap. Beans and rice and bananas and a lot of veggies can be pretty affordable for a lot of people though.

Its very hard for me to restrict my diet at all. I feel i have to eat like a cow or im always hungry.
What was the green things lol
Thanks for this!!
You ate this all on my birthday! (22nd Aug)
Would you benefit more/recover better by going to bed earlier?
Some people sleep very well (deeper) in less time... I know I do. While others are lighter sleepers and need more time.
We gotta get you a burr grinder, Sage!
hey sage, i wanna make the transition to go vegan, do you have anything that could help me learning on that. any website or book, because i want to stay healthy and get all the nutrients my body needs. tanx !!
why don't you eat whole grain bread?btw awesome video sage!!
Great video. BTW, Agave is a great sweet vegan substitute for honey.
Without disrespecting (!), it's amazing how you guys won't even eat honey as if it were raw meat
+axlrosea675 without disrespecting, it's amazing how you guys are not aware that bees are dying off because we are stealing their honey. Earth's ecosystem collapses without pollinators such as bees.
they don't die because of lack of honey
+axlrosea675 Yes they do. That is their food supply. Google it and do the research.
Sorry Erik, but it just not true what you are claiming. If you dont want to eat honey cause of what ever reason, so be it. But dont put out false information with the argument ... "google it"...
I love me some Red Hot Blues.
Are you eating on your daily runs in addition to this? Gels, bars etc... love your vids!
ice cream is my guilty pleasure, too ;)
thx. that was helpful
Hey guys this doesn't really have anything to do with video. But i wanted to know if takeing a ice bath with some stretches before hand would get rid of a really tight calf??
Try foam rolling your calf instead, much more effective.
Ice baths are great for recovery, just make sure that the water is not too cold nor too warm.
From my experience, it looks like you're either using your calves muscles too much instead of your gluts and thighs, or maybe your feet position hyper extends your calves. If only one calf hurts, you might have some balance issues as well.
In short, work on your biomecanics.
most people take or sell their calf to the slaughterhouse. unless your young bovine friend has an undying fear of ice water and yoga I think you should resort to different methods. See if there are any humane societies that take in farm animals. Best of luck!

Great videos sage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you answer !!!

Good video glad to see that you were human! lol
Hey I think that I'm going to share a sponsor with you compressport!

+FreeWheeler hahaha cheers x

Diets are simple, Just go to woo&pep website.
1st,my life is complete
Hi Sage, just wondering how much you weigh?
Hey Sage! I'm a fairly new subscriber so forgive me if this is common knowledge but are you vegan?
He is
No he is not vegan, he 's vegetarian.
He's 98% vegan
This is just for information sake......but no such thing as 98% vegan, or 98% vegetarian...but Sage rocks, and it is fantastic that he is vegetarian, and hopefully he can go the extra 2% and be part of the fastest growing social justice movement of recent times! So close Sage, SOOOO close!
Plant based!
"Good ol'bread"
Noice
Can we have some video's on cake please
Very Healthy
Yay Vegan

Yummy
you drink way tomuch coffee bro haha!
pretty sure you should eat more
more?? spend the whole day eating or what
I can't believe you don't eat meat .. Why ppl? Why? It's so good! Anyways ... More meat for me :D
This seals it for me: I'm never going vegan. Life is short and I eat so much better than this. You have to remember to enjoy life!
Hank g You don't have to eat the exact same things as Sage to be vegan.... There are a lot of meat eaters out there who eat worse than Sage but you don't use that as a reason not to eat meat. How convenient.

vegan diet is very expensive.
James Ambrocio it is actually cheaper than meat
