Is eating greens and less meat healthy for a runner.?


I put in 45 miles a day and during a 2 mile race at the track I found myself light headed and collapsed at the finish line. (5 minutes the first mile and 5:30 the second mile) During that week I changed my diet from greasy fast food to the healthiest thing I could in my Moms kitchen and cafeteria at school. People said it was heat exhaustion or it was because I was eating less food intake. I drank plenty of water and on that race day it was pretty hot for me. Not to forget that my bowel movements were somewhat like diarrhea.

I hear so many articles and books saying eat less and eat healthy but maybe it’s for adults. I’m only 15 and I want to stay in shape for cross country season. Websites? Diets I should have at my age?
Thank You
