[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a runner.  I train for and run one or two marathons a year.  I also do yoga.

I eat whatever I want.  Today I had a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast with a banana and coffee.  A Baconator Meal with a coke from Wendy's for lunch.  I'm eating Brownies and drinking a beer while watching football right now.  We're having spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.

I run enough that I don't have to worry about weight gain.  I struggle to keep my weight up to 115.[/quote]

I'm guessing you are under 40.  I miss those days...[/quote]

I wish!  I turned 50 a couple of weeks ago.  And in fairness, I don't always eat junk.  When I'm seriously training, I eat what my body needs to perform.  For me that's high protein and high carbs.  I absolutely do not have to worry about gaining weight.  No one who runs as often and as far as I do is worried about weight gain, I promise you.  There are down sides.  My knees are shot.   I won't be able to keep doing it forever.

For heavens sake, I am not a troll.  Anyone who runs between 40 and 50 miles a week is going to keep weight off.   Surely there are other marathoners (or any endurance athletes) who can attest to this.  I'm not doing anything special...just burning a hell of a lot of calories.[/quote]
