I ran an additional 2 1/2 miles tonight around 10pm on top of the 3 miles I ran this morning and I felt weak on my run tonight. I wasn't tired but I felt weak as in I was hungry for something sweet.
Before I ran this morning I had a small bite of a piece of a grilled chicken tender. After I came back I finished the rest of the chicken tender and some popcorn around 11. Around 2:30 I had a bowl of grapes. Around 6 I ate my dinner which was a hamburger I grilled.
I just felt weak while running those 2 1/2 miles and wondered if I should have had something else to eat.

I think you have posted before about running a marathon so you probably have a good idea of what your body needs and is used to. I don't like to run on an empty stomach but I have to wait several hours after eating a meal before I can run.
Running 2 1/2 miles in the evening after running 3 miles in the morning should not make you feel weak if you are accustomed to this type of mileage. If you haven't been running for a while, it is probably not a good idea to run twice in one day.
My gut reaction is you're not eating enough in one day, if this is your typical diet. Are you trying to lose weight, or is this your typical daily diet?

My initial reaction is that he isn't consuming enough carbs. If he's doing endurance training, he DEFINITELY needs more carbs.

Is this all you ate all day? One grilled chicken tender, popcorn, a bowl of grapes, and a hamburger (was this with bun and toppings)? If that's it, you're not eating enough, especially if you're going to be running 5 miles.

Glycogen, to be correct. Surely he is. He could eat three sugar-saturated chocolate bars two hours before running and would not get tired after, but his pancreas (and liver) surely would.
The best way is to supply glycogen (that is what body takes energy while training from) by means of good carbs consumption. The bad thing about good carbs is low digestion speed.
That being said, it is personal thing to decide what's more important, health or result.
Still, there are good news! One can train his or her metabolism. So take your time for your whole body to get used to what you want from it . So, villageidiot1 is right:

This was my typical consumption just about everyday with different foods.
Good == Slow digestion speed (moderate insuline reaction speed).
Bad == Fast digestion speed (high insuline reaction speed).
