My Calorie Rule

For every mile you run, you need to add one hundred calories to your diet. So, have your base of 2,000 calories, and then add 100 calories for every mile that you run. A way that I easily add one hundred calories to my diet is eating things like protein bars, or apple’s with peanut butter! If you burn too many calories, you’ll start burning off your muscles, and no one wants to burn off muscle. Eat more when you run more, it should go without saying. You need to eat a lot to run marathons in under three hours!

It’s really outstanding that I did not run any of the races I was supposed to this year. You work really hard to meet certain standards that are differentiated form a lot others, sub-3 marathons are a really big deal and should be praised and differentiated. On the other hand, maybe I should just eat donuts without running or doing anything profound first, I guess you can eat donuts without even exercising. It’s okay to just be an average person who eat donuts, it would be ridiculous for everyone to need to run a marathon in under three hours to eats sweets. Donuts aren’t just for pro athletes as a reward, they can be for everyone. Is this my reward for running really well or is it like I practically accomplished nothing, and just want to eat something really fattening? Well, I suppose it depends on the day. Or you could eat a donut when you do an average cross-country workout, to balance your caloric intake! I used to love this donut shop with sweet potato donuts in Portland Maine, one of my friends he used to buy me a dozen for every weekend. He would always give me a lobster roll and box of donuts to make me happy, and it was the best thing ever.
