If you're looking for an all-star list of the best foods to eat as a runner then look no further than the below list. It’s a compilation of the top foods recommended by serious runners and exercise nutritionists:
- Almonds (excellent source of vitamin E)
Eggs (one egg contains about 10 percent of your daily protein needs and nearly 30% of Daily Value of Vitamin K)
Whole grains (one cup is usually good enough for 40% of your daily protein needs and includes a healthy mix of carbs)
Oranges (tons of vitamin C and packed with water to keep you hydrated)
Black beans (packed with protein, fiber and a lot of folate)
Mixed greens (too many phytonutrients and antioxidants to count)
Bananas (this super food is loaded with Potassium and helps prevent cramping)
Salmon and turkey (both are extremely lean sources of protein and salmon contains high levels of omega 3 fatty acids)
Walnuts (even more omega 3)
Fruit (each fruit has an assortment of vitamins and phytonutrients so mix and match at will)
Happy Running :)
