Today's episode is a Q&A with me, Maddie Alm, registered dietitian and former professional runner. I'm starting off today's episode with an exciting announcement, then I'm answering questions that have been submitted to me by listeners.

Questions answered in this episode include:

  1. What are your thoughts on incomplete vs. complete proteins and leucine content of plant based proteins?
  2. As a plant-based, high mileage runner I'm worried this could be affecting my training or increasing my risk of injury, do you have any advice or suggestions?
  3. I am newer to running and run slower paces, so I struggle with accepting the fact that I need to eat more, especially when it comes to carbs, because I don't consider myself a real runner. Do you have any advice or guidance on how to make sure I'm still getting enough for overall energy?
  4. I'm currently in my first trimester of pregnancy and was wondering how nutritional needs change as the pregnancy progresses and are there any special considerations for active women?
  5. My husband and I area trying to conceive, and I've heard you're supposed to limit refined carbs to prevent gestational diabetes. Is this true and how would I go about doing that?
