Half Marathon!

Can any of the runners tell me what your eating plan is? BillOh, perhaps you can help me: I am training for a 10K and notice my hunger has increased. I am sure the eating plan should be different for lap-banded runners vs. runner without a band, but not sure. I was banded in May 2010 and completed the C25K in Sept and am now in week 4 of 10K training. I am currently running about 20 miles/week. Any information or links is appreciated!

I am not billoh but I am running about 25 miles a week, training for my half thats is in 2 weeks.. I am eating about 1500 calories a day... Running burns lots of calories, so you need to eat more to make up for all the calories being burned..

Thanks liftingchic! I still have 30-40 lbs to lose, and I will calculate my approximate calories burned vs calories in for a small deficit. Great job on your running and weight loss! Thanks again!

yeah i have 30-60 lbs more to lose as well.. Just gradually up your calories each week and if you stop losing weight just drop them down a little again. It feels weird eating that many calories but its working.. Your body needs the extra fuel. Its a matter of eating healthier foods that happen to be high calorie choices.
