In the history of Well+Being’s Food Diaries series, we’ve featured some interesting diets. Meals have ranged from pre-workout liver capsules to the simple, Paleo-friendly meals of Olympic rower Esther Lofgren.
But this week’s food diary takes it to a whole new level. Local ultra runner Nicklaus Combs documented his entire food and beverage intake during the October 4 Hot Wild Oak Trail 100 Miler in Virginia. The race is actually 108 miles and involves 32,000 feet of elevation gain.
The total number of snacks and drinks he ingested: 68.
