I'm a little concerned about my sister. Background info:
She's running 6-10 miles per day and walking more
Was vegetarian for 7 years and recently went back to eating meat, no complications but still eating pretty small portions and not regularly
Is apparently addicted to peanut butter (natural) and cottage cheese since it seems to be most of what she eats
Has acid reflux and is careful to not trigger it when it's avoidable (is under doctor care and on meds)
Was a dancer when she was young (through college) but isn't anorexic or bulemic. (I've lived with her the last few years and I'm absolutely sure, plus she worries she's too thin, not too fat.)
Is UNDERWEIGHT. I mean, she's got the typical thin runner legs and arms but it goes beyond that. She's about 5'7" and probably 105-115 lbs right now.
She hasn't seen a nutritionist and, whatever else is going on, I'm sure that she's not consuming enough calories for the activity she's doing. She says she's eating enough, she thinks - "800 calories at breakfast, etc" - but she eats mostly carbs. Lots of toast, peanut butter, nuts, cheese, veggies, sometimes eggs.
What's YOUR nutritional plan if you do a lot of running? I'd just like to get some comparisons.
