I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Most of your running should be easy. Easy running primarily burns fat. Even the skinniest of runners still has several pounds of fat on them and each pound of fat fuels some 30-45 miles of running. So why do you feel you need to snack to fuel your runs? I agree that an indulgence is great. So indulge. Don't worry about "fitness targeted" snacks, they are junk food as much as anything else is. Enjoy!

Since you are eating chips I suggest you change to Trail mix. Something with some nuts, almonds, raisins, (maybe a little chocolate covered raisins). I like it because it is slightly salty and got some extra protein. So it might work for you because it's thought of as healthier than chips and would still fill your desire for salt (guessing that's why it's chips and not chocolate chip cookies!)

Soy nuts are good, but they make me fart.

I need to get faster so that I'm not behind you...peeuw! girmann, what about beef jerky? Man, I could live on beef jerky.
Very true. I am in the belief that the optimal fat buring occurs during excercise when HR is lower - (145ish), after that you begin burning more carbs than fat. Secondly, eat carrots. They now come in small easy to use bags. Banana's or sun chips! Soy nuts are good, but they make me fart. Drink a ton water. I need to layoff the wheat thins and goldfish myself. Do you eat breakfast?
One day at a time
Yeah, but I've been pretty regimented about breakfast. One packet of oatmeal for breakfast and that's it. I know I should switch to steel cut instead of instant, but hey - - one step at a time! And this is from I guy who used to eat plates of pancakes for breakfast. I LOVE breakfast. I could eat breakfast for every meal of the day.. Mmmm... banana-pecan pancakes... I'm sorry, what were we talking about again?
UGH!!! That's a good one! Someone got me hook on the stuff from New Holland Meats a few years ago. Really good stuff. Expensive though. It's like dried meat crack in a bag. Thanks for the suggestion!
