Up unti now, I have been a read-only participant but am now looking
for some advice relative to maintenance. Since January, I have
lost 39 lbs and have ten or so more to go. I haven't participated
in any formal program and averaged between 1200-1600 calories per
day. I'm 5'11" and now weigh 168. Needless to say I'm pretty proud
of myself. I also run 35-40 miles per week. My mileage will increase
as I plan to run a marathon in the fall.
Is there a good way to gradually increase one's calories? Someone
will provide me some WW materials as a guide for maintenance but
am unsure as to how much what I can eat particularily in view of my running.
Any input is welcomed.
Thanks

There is a real fine line between overeating, and giving your body
enough fuel to run. I also run/diet, and sometimes it is hard to
know how many calories, etc. I find that my body needs enough protein,
and carbohydrates, or my running suffers. My only suggestion is
to obtain a list (like WW) of food exchanges, and add carbos/proteins
to your diet until you start gaining weight. Once you start gaining
weight, then reduce until you are maintaining (I mean a pound or
two, not 15 lbs).

Figure on a mile as requiring about 100 calories for your weight.
If you're going to run 5 miles, try to eat about 500 calories
sometime between 4 and 12 hours before.
Something like 60-80% carbohydrates and 5-20% protein should
be fine and in your blood and muscles by the time you start the
exercise.
