[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I watch a lot of professional or highly competitive athlete you tube videos - mostly triathletes, ultra runners, and cyclists.

They eat a ton of lean protein + vegetables and whole carbs. Lots of hard boiled eggs, legumes, roasted vegetables, protein shakes, berries…

I would try adding more protein on on your cardio days and see if that helps. [/quote]

As a competitive age-grouper this is more or less what I do. But, I am not that big into eggs and I don't use protein shakes. I schedule my training around my actual meals and tend to eat whole foods as much as possible. I am also a big fan of Zero Percent Greek Yogurt - you can get 48 ounce containers of Fage and Kirkland brand at Costco locally.

For OP, the more steady state longer cardio you do, the less sugar-fuel reliant you are going to be, and the less famished you are going to be after any of that. People that are putting in 10+ hours a week are generally not going to even register something like an hour easy run. It just takes time to get there, and not everybody is the same. [/quote]
