I also, unfortunately, have a terrible sweet tooth. I am not training for the marathon to lose weight, but I would be pleased if I lost 5 to 10 lbs while I was at it. I searched for a sports nutritionist in my area on the ADA site, but was unsuccessful. I would appreciate any pointers you could give me in terms of meal plans. Melanie Gannon Dear Melanie, Thank you for your letter.
Nutrition can be a very frustrating part of training.
I struggle with it myself. For me, the more I stress over food, the more I stress over food, the more cake I eat. You can drive yourself nuts reading nutrition books. I've yet to find two that agree with each other. Keep it simple.
