Would it be advisable to load up on carbs earlier in the day (big lunch or something) or just cut them down in general?

What are the benefits of running specifically before you eat in the morning??

Also if anyone has any specific info about what I should, shouldnt eat after a heavy boxing training session (I usually finish by four if im gonna eat after).

Tahnks again killer cc
CLA = Conjugated Linoleic Acid, here is a good article basically it helps your fat cells from getting bigger and promotes growth of lean muscle mass when you get back to your regular weight level http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/mike8.htm

Trans Fat = here is a good article on trans fats, it's basically good for your heart to cut them out. Look for anything that says "hydrogenated" anything on the ingredients http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2003/503_fats.html

It's good to take in your carbs earlier in the day when you will use them. A few hours before your training would be a good time to load up on them.
Just remember carbs aren't bad just take them in when you need fuel to do things, after dinner typically we as humans don't do to much (except maybe getting laid, then you can have a few carbs at dinner )

Running in the morning benefits you because your body will be burning stored energy (fat) because it doesn't have the calories from other places.

As for the specific, post boxing diet, I would say lots of water and leafy greens and lean meats. To get your recovery right you want about 75% protein rich foods.
