Many runners consume much more calories than they actually need. People who fell into this trap because they presuppose that they can consume as much calories as they want as long they are running, therefore they indulge themselves in unhealthy diets, only to see their body weight go right through the roof.
When you consume more calories than you burn, you create an energetic excess. This excess will not be burned during exercising, but it gets converted into body fat and the pounds start piling up. Therefore, if you are running to lose weight; you won't trim as much as you would like to.
Your calorie intake will depend on your running goals and the intensity of your training. If you want to lose weight, you must produce a calorie deficit by consuming less calories than you burn. And when you achieve your ideal weight, you could be less careful about your calorie intake, but you should keep your eyes open on your daily dietary habits.
How to not eat too many calories
Lots of people struggle tremendously with diet and keeping their calories balanced. Studies show that the number 1 reason why 95% of diets fail is they are too complicated and overwhelming; at least that's what we would like to think so.
This shouldn't be that complicated, in fact in order to succeed at something whatever it is, whether is diet or finding the soul mate; you must make it simpler.
Albert Einstein said that everything must be made simple, but not simpler. Here are a few guidelines that will make the task easier on you:
- Keep a food journal and start tracking everything you put into your mouth - Eat more natural and organic foods and stay away from the highly processed and fatty foods.
- Get in the habit of eating breakfast regularly.
- Keep track of your body weight, waist measurement.
- Listen to your body and get more acquainted with its needs and whether they got fulfilled or not.
Eating for weight loss
the amount of weight you lose when running depends on the calorie deficit you create. If you take in more calories than you burn, then you will be putting on extra pounds, regardless of the intensity of the training. Therefore, it's crucial to keep track of your calorie intake and adjust it accordingly.
