I agree with Michael. However you do really need to determine your own individual needs. For instance, I am a vegan and do not have sugar either (macrobiotics actually) plus last year while marathon training I was also nursing my baby and I started "crashing" on runs of only 12 miles. I found what worked for me and started adding powerbars and drinking sports drinks ( I needed this sugar exception). Also I would make a huge whole wheat pasta, tempeh, and veggie dinner the night before long runs and I was just fine. Tempeh is like a wonder food for vegans - huge protein and iron!
I also started taking fatty acid amino acids from my kinesiologist because I was not getting enough protein or fat and that did the trick . Good luck!
