McQuaidgirl 11 Posted October 4, 2015 I belong to a few groups for support but I am a peer reviewed search based kind of girl and would like to read the same peer reviewed journals as the doctors do. I am soecifically wanting help with the this and didn't see it anywhere. In particular I am 7 weeks out and I joined a 100 mile walking challenge the last couple of months. I have walked 18 miles in 2 days. How does that affect my diet. Should I get in more Protein or calories? Thank you so much for the wonderful welcome! These are my last two days of exercise. Never done anything Ike this before so kinda in a new world. Thank you in advance for your kindness and help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bacon 514 Posted October 4, 2015 I would not add any more calories as you are now running on the calories stored as fat on your hips and gut. Burn baby burn.. Just stay hydrated and walk walk walk... 18 miles in 2 days?!?!!! yer killin it!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted October 4, 2015 This is a great question to ask your NUT. If you aren't already reaching your Protein and Water goal daily then you certainly will need to do that as a minimum. The more you exercise, the more Water you will need. Your NUT can give you advice for timing and amounts of any additional Protein, healthy carbs, and fats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
