So you’re not eating everything in sight or absolutely nothing post-workout.

And when it comes to post-run snacks, separate the correct portions into smaller containers—people ate 129 percent more when served from a large container than a small one, according to aAs a runner, though, improving your portion control is just like your training: It’s all about consistency.
