Weeks 1 to 12
Guidelines:
On your off-training day, (rest days, or cross-training), try to increase your protein intake to 33% to 50%, and decrease your carbs. Don't increase the fat%. If you feel you can't cross-train or if it impacts your running, go back to 50% carbs. Goal: 25%carbs/50%protein/25%fat

Weeks 1 to 12
Guidelines:
Try to eat 50% of your RDI as carbohydrates to fuel your training, 25% of your RDI as protein, and 25% of your RDI as fats. Be careful that you don't overeat your RDI! When you start, it's surprising how hungry you get, and it is easy to think you can eat that extra food because you are running more. Watch your calories closely!
