Try to eat healthy all year-round

To avoid physically breaking down during strenuous exercises, you must consume massive amounts of calories to sustain your endurance

A high protein intake helps prevent overtraining - combining even a modest amount of protein with your post-workout carb drink can make a significant difference in minimizing muscle protein breakdown and optimizing protein synthesis

Drink at least 1 to 1.5 gallons of water daily and eat 6 meals every day.

Optimizing and building the metabolism allows you to systematically improve the body's ability to efficiently process food without adding to body fat deposit in the process

Protein intake should be high - multiply your lean body weight by 1.35 grams of protein and divide between six meals

Carbohydrate intakes - multiply your lean body weight by 1.6 grams of carbs and divide between six meals

Fat intake -- Multiply your lean body weight by .4 grams of fat and divide between six meals
