Many athletes, especially runners, focus so much on consuming their carbs that they don't pay enough attention to their protein.
Solution: Athletes, especially those who are doing strenuous training for long distances such as marathons, should consume 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per kg of body weight. Good sources of protein are fish, lean meat, poultry, beans, nuts, whole grains, egg whites, low or non-fat milk, low-fat cheese and some vegetables. If you're not sure how much protein you should be getting, call me to set-up an appointment for advice on how to get the right amount of protein in your diet.
