I eat food to be healthy.
I never crave any one kind of food but I try to eat healthy. After I finish a workout or a long day at work I simply want healthy food for my belly. I eat whatever my wife prepares for me. She is a dietitian. So I eat lots of whole grains, fruits, vegetable, fish and small amounts of salt, sugar, red meat and chicken and junk foods. I never touch tobacco, drink alcohol, or do other drugs and I haven’t eaten ice cream in many years.
I get my best physical running workouts when I’m hungry. It makes me feel ready to fight. Just because I happen to feel hungry dose not mean that I’m out of energy. I usually have plenty of energy (stored glycogen and fat) to get through any workout, marathon or triathlon that I sign up for. Carbo-loading the day before helps where I go by the Chinese rule of “8/10 full” and so I never stuff myself full.
Sometimes I feel hungry during the day in between meals. It doesn’t bother me. I just blow it off knowing that I’n not going to starve to death. I can live off my fat cells until it is meal time again. HA!
