apple or banana!!
bananas give you more energy, but apples likely fill you up and are less calories but sitll give you energy.
Hi - if you are running, there are some food/fruits that will work best in giving your body the nutrients and strength it needs. Here are some you might want to try out:
- Whole grain pasta or bread - they give your body long lasting energy. Try eating them the night before your race.
- Eggs - a good source of protein which helps repair muscles when damaged during training
- Salmon - another good source of protein and omega 3
- Beans - they provide both carbs and protein, a win-win combination
- Quinoa - rich in protein and carbs too
- Banana - a good source of carb
- Sweet potatoes
- yogurt - protein and carbs combined
- peanut butter - a good source of fiber (don't overdo it)
- Carrot - tasty, low fat and filled with vitamins to replenish your body
Before your race itself, it's best to eat something light with a limited amount of figer to avoid upsetting your stomach. Wholegrain toast with peanut butter and/or a banana for example.
Good luck!

Apples would be a good choice. There are about 20 grams of carbs in an apple.
