best watch for ultra runners image
I wanted to get in shape a few months ago, so I've been doing a lot of cardiac exercises to lose all my fat. I lost all my excess fat and am very thin now, but now I realize I barely have any muscles. So I'm going to buy a few weight sets tonight to start lifting. I understand you need a lot of protein to get muscles. So can you suggest some healthy foods that have a lot of protein in them? (I'm not a vegetarian or vegan by the way, suggest healthy meats if you want.) Thanks.
Answer
Some of our top pro-athletes are now eating only plant-based foods. Cooking rice and beans together forms a complete protein. Most all vegetables have at least 8% protein.

Also, just to cover the bases, consider the following. Here are health concepts I'm distilling from easiest on down:
1. Water intake is the biggest, easiest, cheapest thing you can do for your health, research Water Calculator
2. Most people should take a multi-vitamin
3. Food combinations & eating for your body type are foundational (book: "Fit for Life")

4. Minimize manufacturer-processed foods, research the ingredients & side effects

5. Having raw foods and correctly cooking some of them maximizes your food value. There are healthier substitutes for anything, like homemade humus for mayo, nutritional yeast for cheese. I regularly cook chili with rice for a complete protein.

6. Eat natural oils (raw nuts, seeds, avocado), limit extracted oils, use healthier oils, avoid solid fats

8. Exercise is important for mental health and weight loss, gains muscle, and slows total weight loss.
Exercise a minimum of 20min/wk, more vigorous is better, too much can be unhealthy

Can you burn off muscle from long distance running?
Tony
Track season is almost over, and I've been working out like crazy and putting a lot of protein into my system. I seem to have gained quite a bit of muscle, particularly upper body. But now cross country is coming up, will I lose any of that progress if i continue to work out?
Answer
the video that i watched on the site I cited read this:
What we tend to see, through of use of a metabolic card, is activities longer than an hour: long distance running, long distance cycling, [that] we can actually burn off muscle tissue. So it sometimes becomes counter productive when we have people who want to get some bulk in certain areas, but, yet, again, whatever bulk they have they'll use because they're on the stairmaster for over an hour and a half; they're on a stairstepper for an hour and a half. And they don't realize that usually at around the hour time they'll switch to a different fuel system and we'll go from a majority of maybe some fat storage and some carbs and we'll now start saving on some of the carbs and the fat and we'll start going with protein because your body thinks it's getting a little excessive. So, therefore, another reason why we look at sports specific athletes, you don't see extremely muscular and bulky long distance runners. You don't see bulky and muscular tri-athletes. You don't see really muscular developed type ultra- endurance type of athletes based upon these fuel systems switching over a period of time.
