thanks that was an awesome article. But it didn't say how much fat an athlete should eat....I mean it didn't really give a specific menu or anything. I would have loved to know what exactly the Ethiopian guy ate every day specifically. But still it was reassuring that I will probably be okay doing low carb and track. I am lucky that we are not forced to follow any specific diet plan. At my last school the track athletes had to follow a special diet and I think I would self-destruct from eating 11-12 servings of bread, pasta, and rice a day! Give me meat or give me death
