Your nutrition SHOULD look different if you are training for endurance events. It would be unhealthy for you to NOT eat enough carbohydrates.
Consistently undereating carbs can cause:
Nausea, bloating, IBS, brain fog, trouble sleeping, poor recovery (sore for longer), micronutrient deficiencies (especially iron) and poor adaptations to exercise (we wanna get stronger don't we?)

What to eat before your workout! Try two rice cakes (depending on the brand this will be equivalent to eating a banana)

Don't let the fear of calories get in the way of making you stronger, building muscle mass, increasing bone density and strengthening connective tissue to stabilize joints.
Your quadriceps, hamstrings, obliques, and bones are hungry!
It makes sense that they'd be more sore for longer, take longer to recover if you're not giving them the proper fuel they need before and after a lift, as well as throughout the day.
Want help on what to eat before lifts?
What to eat after lifts?
What, when and how much to eat on a day to day basis as someone who is strength training?
Are you a runner or cyclist that should take advantage of strength training? ๐
Reach out! I offer 1:1 sports nutrition coaching and also have runners and cyclist specific e-course.

๐ฟSKI TOURING NUTRITION AND HYDRATION TIPS
If you want to feel good and keep going at a decent pace, then make sure you are fueling to do so!
โ๏ธ Ski touring brings many weather related challenges to fueling.
๐ฆ ๐ฅฏMain focus is fluids with electrolytes and carbohydrates.
๐ฅ If you're going longer than 2.5 hours, some protein and fat are helpful to get enough calories.
๐ฟ If it's below freezing, your fluid will freeze and your food will be hard. Keep your fluid in an anti-freeze bottle or inside your bag.
What tips do you have for ski touring?!
