Nutrition question for runners..... (Read 490 times)

To all doctors and informed runners on here. For someone that runs 4-8 miles a day. What would be the recommended daily amount of calories,carbs,fat,protein, and sodium to give your body the best chance to recover but also lose a few pounds? I know this varies from person to person and 4-8 miles is a big range. I have recently started running and am trying to eat enough right now so that I can be ready for my next run, but I wouldnt mind dropping a few pounds too. Your input is greatly appreciated
