Cross country running demands the body to work its best.
A good diet consists of:
- Carbohydrates: whole wheat breads, bagels, pastas
- Proteins: nuts - almonds, lean meats, peanut butter (natural)
- Fruits: bananas are excellent, apples, anything
- Vegetables: spinach, broccoli
- Dairy: chocolate milk after runs, yogurt.
Don't eat:
- processed "carbs" like donuts.
- sweetened anything
A cross country runner needs to carefully watch their diet. Carbohydrates are excellent to stock up enough energy to run, but also be ware of eating too little or not getting enough calcium, protein of vitamins.
I recommend taking calcium supplements (like Tums) and a multivitamin everyday as well.
If you're a Vegetarian, be extra careful. Check up on your iron level often with you doctor and be aware of your body's needs and aches.
