I know what works for me and just thought I'd try something a little different (hubby is trying to lose about 10 so we are trying to do this together). When the bonks happen on short runs, that's a problem. I haven't even gotten to my long run for the week (which, thankfully, is pretty short by my long run standards)! At this point I'm concerned with getting my weight down because I don't need to carry an extra 5 lbs up the mountain when I am running. I have no idea what my BF is, and for the purposes for moving mass through space (at the moment), I'm not too focused on it. I seem to be able to lose weight if I count calories. I don't really eat a lot of crap, anyway, so I think that helps. My problem is portion control. If I measure out my food, regardless of what it is, then I can usually lose what I need to lose.

Friggin' almonds. I can eat them by the handful.

Roxy, I eat regularly while I run long distances, but in very small amounts. For anything longer than about an hour or an hour and a half, I need some calories. If it's close to an hour and a half, I drink my calories (I prefer HEED). If it's 2+ hours, then I always have some food. What I eat depends on how long I plan to be out.

Edit: the low carb is definitely working for hubby. So we'll keep that focus but I will need to add in some!
