Salmon
Why It's Good for Runners: Salmon is an excellent protein source, but it's also one of the best food sources of omega-3 fats, essential for brain development and function. Omega-3s also assist in the prevention of heart disease and high blood pressure. Salmon also has protein, vitamins A, B and D as well as a range of minerals vital to a balanced and healthy diet.
How to Add it to Your Diet: Salmon is a very versatile fish -– just add some fresh herbs and bake, grill, or poach it.

I found this recipe on my friends site "Steph's Kitchen" check it out, the link is below. She says:
"For a low carb option, serve on a bed of greens and skip out the buns (and literally do your buns a favor) for a healthier option." But I think if you used a whole wheat bun it would work too, us runners need our carbs still, and thats one benefit of running, sometimes we can cheat a little.
