Runners: Minimal caloric intake for 30 miles per week

2,500-3,000 daily calories seem like an adequate amount? Someone also said 400 grams of carbs daily.
Thoughts?

Good job getting that many miles in.

I've read the carb loading is really unnecessary unless you are running half marathons or more at one time.

For 30 miles a week? Probably 500.

Depends on your weight. But if you're running 30 miles a week, I would imagine you're not fat. I would go on the high side of your 2500-3000 calorie window. I burn about 750-800 calories on a 5 mile run, and do this 3-4 days a week. You're exceeding my totals by at least 33%, so I would be at 3,000 calories if I were you.

30 miles is about 3,000 calories burned, so...I don't think you need to add 500 - 1000 calories intake/day

For me, that was a lot of the draw, no worries about eating or drinking. Increase your miles and chow down!
Good luck with whatever you decide, running is relaxing.

How long did it take you to work up to 30 miles.

I don't really know but would guess most everyone consumes more than enough calories for 30 miles a week. I don't really notice being overly hungry until getting up towards 50 miles a week.

I probably do about 15-20. Used to run 30 or more a week. I eat when I'm hungry.

What are your goals? Generally, you have to burn 3600 calories to lose a pound (i know, fatties don't want to hear that).
Are you wanting to get better at running or lose weight? You almost certainly burn ~150 calories per mile if not less.
