I'm not a nutritionist but I'd definitely consider raising your protein levels each day based on your menu/meals shown , however there maybe more protein in the meals featured than is obvious but difficult to say without portion sizes. A quick Google search shows that an ideal amount would be 1.4- 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. If i eat higher levels of protein daily,it helps me avoid snacking between meals. I try and avoid convenience food as it generally contains too much salt/sugar.
I feel like you need to add 400 or 500 more calories in here if you’re marathon training. One of my favourite quick snacks when training is a bowl of Greek yoghurt mixed with a scoop of protein powder topped with berries and nuts. Will add around 300 cals (depending on fat content of yogurt) and about 50 grams of protein.
Anyone interested in the subject of diet and running should search out any of the books written in the late 1950s /early 1960s by the Australian coach Percy Cerutty. Despite coaching medalists and record holders he was considered a bit of a crank but most of his ideas on food intake are now widely accepted. (His other ideas on running are also really worth looking at.)
Not a nutritionist but an everyday runner. Porridge & banana is my go-to breackfast also but to increase protein i add a spoonful of non flavoured protien powder and a topping of nuts, blueberries for antioxidants. After my morning run or gym I'll have a wholefood lunch of rice or pasta or noodles with a choice of protein and a mountain of veg and leafy greens. Sometimes a 2nd late lunch of huel or a sandwhich or humus and raw veg Evening stir fry again with loads of veg, or something like bangers mash, maybe fresh mango and berries with plain yogurt. Im caffeine free for the last 5 years as it keeps me awake, i dont touch carbonated drinks at all but if i need a lift I'll have a banana and water. Id like to see a bit more fresh fruit & veg especially leafy greens and less fizzy drinks, energy or otherwise. Good honest work Fordy 👍
Not a nutritionist but I came from bodybuilding into running. I can tell you now your protein content is far too low. You probably want around 180g a day. Breakfast is a really good area you could improve on - eggs could be a staple here. Cottage cheese and greek yoghurt are great snacking alternatives to boost protein. Your muscles will be getting decimated in a marathon block ,especially if you don’t lift weights they will get metabolised. Also ensure protein comes from meat, fish and dairy only. Tofu and veggie protein is woeful especially for men as its pro oestrogen.
@@sparkky5843 most of all that is correct. However the claim about tofu and veggie protein is inferior is a myth. It doesn’t matter what the source of protein is, what matters is that you get enough protein. The body doesn’t know what the source of protein is, it just wants the amino acids from that protein. There are plenty of plants based athletes as there is meat eaters. Also tofu does not contain estrogen, it contains phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogen actually blocks the bodies receptors to esteogen, so it actually does the opposite and not allow estrogen!! Long story short, nothing wrong with veggies.
There is no such thing as a bad food and these days it’s all you see with ‘Influencers’ (Not you Fordy). You’re not consuming as much as I thought you weee however it’s each to their own and it it works and you’re fueled it’s fine. I’m a 120Ib female marathon runner. 3 hours. I definitely eat a lot more than this and at least 120g protein per day. As runners we don’t want extra body fat to come on but ensure we are fueled. It’s very easy to over consume
Seems pretty normal to me. You could probably improve it a lot with some very minor changes. Is this typical the whole way through the block or do you make adjustments in the last couple of weeks?
Sudenly I don't feel as bad for eating a large bag of crips per week :) It would actually be interesting if a nutritionist would contact you and give feedback.
Yay…. ADHD here to, we are a breed only another understands 🎉. My nutrition experience comes from equine as have a degree in equine sports science but can equate some things over… so not human nutrionist is what I’m saying. Looks to me like need to increase your protein intake, get more fruit in you as well and quality fats. Cut down on your crisps, biscuits red bull and fizzy pop. Add more bananas, apples, raisins, peanut butter etc etc . My fave power ball snacks are oats, raisin, banana and peanut butter all mixed and balled up, wrap in foil in fridge. It takes serious discipline though and can be quite boring getting into a balanced diet that is rich in all macro and micro nutrients. Please don’t take offence but you could drop a stone and feel on top of the world. I’m 6ft and 70kg but also have a gymnastic background so lean and toned even at 53yrs young. Although I would seriously love to tuck into a bag of crisps and choc bar but then would feel rough guilty for it. 😂 love the honesty again budd 🎉

Yeah thinking the same
Hi
I would say your under on protein intake 1.6g per kg during marathon training. New information is that the original 0.8 to 1.2 is outdated now.
Interesting thanks
No beer to treat yourself after a long run, you’ve got more will power than me.
I don’t drink coz of my ADHD
Interesting video 🎉. Well done. 👍
I’ve been waiting for this video
Hopefully you found it useful
@@FordyRuns yeah I never know what the best things to eat are especially after work when I’m hungry before my midweek run

Tks
Great video. I have decided that I'm not eating enough crisps so I have just been to the shop and bought some. 😀
Hope you enjoy
And i thought you lived on crisps alone 😂
Genuine as ever Fordy ! Big love x
Thank you

Second this. You’re under consuming protein. Probably need to aim for 150-200g per day.
Tend to agree thank you

Same, bodybuilding to running. I’ve always tracked cals/macros
Replace biscuits and chocolate with handful of nut also add fruit everyday 😊 treat yourself once a week 😋
Yep
Good morning. Bon apetite!!!. LIKE. A nice weekend for everyone.
Thank you! You too!
Having a drink for dinner seems weird to me 🤔
Do you ever run in the mornings? And do you do that run before or after your porridge?
These type of vids are always interesting. How about supplements ? Do you bother and if so why for each one, might be an interesting video 😊
Thanks I’ll do that

On reflection defo add more protein in and yep it’s pretty typical tbh
Great video Chris. Do you ever count calories or do you eat to feel?
Nah
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
What shoes are you wearing in Berlin pal?

What electrolyte drinks do you have?
Kendal Mint Co use code FORDYRUNS
Plenty of Dr Pepper on the side 😂
That stuff is naughty
Not bad, but too many crisps. 🙂
