 Re: what do you eat 
I eat fat and protein.
  I like nuts, peanut butter, eggs, etc. youa can also eat tuna, or grilled chicken with olive oil and veggies, as a meal before.  Make sure you eat an hour before you go.
  You need to have carbs and protein AFTER your workout.  your post workout meal is critical!

 Re: what do you eat 
i don't really like bars.  they are not very healthy- too processed.  eat real food.

 Re: what do you eat 
Some natural peanut butter on a slice of whole grain bread. Or, a little bit of cottage cheese and a small apple.

  I usually have toast and natural peanut butter before my long runs...maybe a banana  I also make sure I drink a lot of water.  I have found most of the fatigue I may feel is due to dehydration.
