How many calories does someone actually consume over a 240-mile foot race, and what’s happening in the body during the days it takes to feel human again? And what do Oatmeal Creme Pies and Nutter Butters have to do with it?Sports Dietitian Becca Rick returns to walk us through her second Moab 240, sharing what shifted in her training, nutrition, and race prep that helped her cut eight hours off her stop time from last year. We dig into her fluid and calorie intake during the race, how her gut handled the highs and lows, and what her early “energy burn” data revealed in the four days after finishing. It’s a rare look at the demands of a 240-mile effort and the repair work the body launches into as soon as the race is over.Follow Becca on Instagram <a href="instagram.com/becs_slc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">@becs_slc</a> and find her at <a href="https://nutritionmechanic.com/about">The Nutrition Mechanic</a> or <a href="https://health.utah.edu/nutrition-integrative-physiology/people/teaching-clinical">University of Utah</a>.Links:<ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPwzMlskiu_/?hl=en">Instagram Video</a> from @destinationtrail immediately after Becca won the race</li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40239961">Total Energy Expenditure and Intake During a 161-km Mountain Ultramarathon</a> (Creer et al, 2025)</li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41118725/">Ultra-endurance athletes and the metabolic ceiling</a> (Best et al, 2025)</li><li><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37709278/">Total Energy Expenditure and Nutritional Intake in Continuous Multiday Ultramarathon Events</a> (Best et al, 2023)</li></ul>Download the Patreon app to join our free Community (@isnpodcast) and become a supporter of the show by joining our low-cost Silver or Gold level membership. -------Subscribe to our show to get the weekly episodes and also check out the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/isnpodcast">YouTube</a> channel.You can help us remain 100% ad-free and get access to exclusive bonus content and behind-the-scenes conversations with Bob and Dina.
