Not sure if this is the right place for this, but here goes.

TL;DR: Handling run nutrition after growing up with an eating disorder

I developed anorexia in my early teens and it persisted into my mid/late twenties. I focused solely on restricting and was severely underweight for a decade at least. I eventually sought treatment and was hospitalized for several months. It's been a few years and I'd say I'm recovered. Healthy weight for ~7 years.

Recently I've been entertaining the idea of improving my nutrition to help running.

Thing is, one of my coping methods in recovery has been to just ignore any nutritional information. It took me a long time to learn how to eat when I am hungry (stupid as that sounds). As a result I'm eating a lot of junk. I have some slight idea of what vitamins/nutrients I am getting, but it doesn't go much further than "milk has calcium" "bread has carbs".

I've tried doing some searches of the sub, have been reading this thread for several weeks, and searched some articles and blogs but I'm lost and, frankly, overwhelmed. I've got my eye on this book though. /u/borichu you've totally sold me.

I don't want to track calories or keep a food diary of everything I eat. I feel like that could lead to a slippery slope of relapse.

---

Can anyone recommend a starting point for a few key vitamins or minerals that I should be getting? I'm hoping to start incorporating a couple things at a time but I have no clue where to start without an "all or nothing" attitude. Or if any of you have tackled this, I'd love to hear how you handled it!

I'm training for my first half marathon in November and I have a 9.7 km/6 mile run on Saturday. It'll be the longest I've ever run and I'm both crazy excited and kinda nervous. More excited than anything else. I just hope it's not too hot tomorrow because I can't sleep for shit if I run too late in the evening/night.

I borrowed the Racing Weight cookbook from the library and made the Asian Chicken with peanut sauce last night and while I don't know how good it'll be at fighting the runger, it was pretty tasty. I'm 100% on board with using broccoli slaw as a "noodle" base for dishes now. The cauliflower and white bean soup from the book was also really good.

Weeks ago, someone suggested stroopwaffels as a pre-run snack and I can't agree more. There's one grocery store that stocks them currently and it's a struggle not to buy a dozen packs just so I never run out. Why are they so good but so expensive?!

Racing Weight Cookbook by Matt Fitzgerald. I've made so many awesome things from this, and I gift it to people all the time! Definitely my favorite healthy recipe Cookbook.

For those of you who have Matt Fitzgerald's Racing Weight Cookbook, I'm a huge fan of the lemon poppyseed bars. I make them as muffins instead of bars, but they still come out incredibly delicious.
