Although some can still manage to have a slim physique because they run a lot, or have a "fast metabolism" that should be no excuse to not eat healthy. Nutrition isn't important just to look good, but to feel good and is a great way to compliment your exercise routine--in fact eating well should be even more incentive as you will probably need an increased intake of carbohydrates and protein.
About.com discusses ways that you can get this extra needed nutrition and outlines it by when normally do your work outs. For example, if you like to work out in the mornings it suggests that you try eating, bagels, raisins, bananas, or a liquid meal like a sports drink.
Other things to take into consideration are the extra hydration that you will need. The American College o
f Sports Medicine (ACSM) suggests that when you work out you need more water and you need to drink around 16 oz of water two hours before your workout for optimum performance and sip water throughout your program.

WOW! that is pretty interesting. I never thought of my body as a car or vice versa.
Great post! I love the comic at the beginning! I really liked how you pointed out that good nutrition should COMPLIMENT a workout.
