food and cardio

[Ovation88]

Currently I just began winter track at my high school (going to be doing pole vault and the high jump) in order to get into shape for lacrosse season. Since i was increasing my cardio, which is 6 days a week, I had to increase my food intake because I am still trying to bulk up as much for lacrosse season and was hoping to add a couple extra pounds between now and then... MY problem is when I eat all this food and I start running, all I want to do is puke and then i cramp up. Is it wht im eating thats doing this or should i just limit my food intake untill after i run?

Eating close to any aerobic activity will more than likely upset your stomach. How soon before practice do you eat? And, how much do you eat?

[Ovation88]

breakfast - eggs + toast and some fruit
snack - sandwhich ( usually ham or tuna on wheat)
snack2 - Some type of nuts
lunch - soemthing high in protien and carbs
snack3 - something salty before practice

then track practice goes on at about 2 pm and will run for a few hours usually to 5.

snack4 - protien shake
dinner - w/e rents got made for the night
snack5 - shake before bed.

it might be htat im eating too close to when I start running but I suffered from an eating disorder about 2 years ago so if i dont eat a lot ill get all sick and like pass out.

Try eating a whole food meal containing pro / carbs app. 2 hours before practice. If you need more energy, add an electrolyte (with simple carbs) beverage immediately before and during your practice. Ex. would be gatorade.
