I'm running the Highland Fling ultra in April and would ideally like to be sub 12 stone for that which is a big ask but doable. I'm currently on overnight oats with fresh fruit for breakfast, a MyProtein meal replacement shake (200 calories) for lunch and something veggie and clean for dinner. Snacks are fruit or nuts and nothing for drinking other than water. No alcohol, no crisps and no sweets. Taking in less than 1800 calories a day. I'll be doing back to back long runs on Saturdays and Sundays so will up my eating accordingly on those days but still want to be at a deficit to keep losing weight for as long as possible.
It's not really the healthiest way to do it but it works for quick loss. Once I get the Christmas excess off I'll be a bit more sensible about things.
