What are you guys eating?

[Javaman]

Not sure if this' been discussed here already but, what's the best food pre-ride? Especially before a long and tough one. Any special stuff out there?

[William]

For me, a bowl of oatmeal with raisins with skim milk follwed by a bowl non-fat yogurt & raisins. No sooner than 45 minutes before I head out and I'm good. I'm a grazer eating lots of smaller meals throughout the day.

yesterday was green chile chicken enchiladas, this is a meal one should not eat before a ride.

Back in the days of 100 mile races, the day before was the day to load up. The morning of the event I will eat next to nothing. I HATE riding with anything significant in my belly.

When I am in the Twin Cities are ride there with my buddies in St. Paul, I leave the house at about 7 AM and get back around 10:30 AM. I will eat nothing before such a ride and feel much better.

Of course, to keep from getting hypoglycemic you need to drink something more than water during a ride.

Anyway, everyone's different. I don't like to ride hungry, but I don't like to eat before a ride either.

liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti

I can never go out on an empty stomach. If I do it will be growling at me the whole time.

I just finished a bowl of greens (baby spinach etc...)
&
A bowl of oatmeal with a tbsppooon of nutritional yeast, flax oil, home made maple syrup and cinnamon. It may sound nasty, but it tasted great, and every time I eat nutritional yeast I get a huge burst of energy. Must be all the B vitamins or something


Unfortunately, I had a late night in the studio last night, so even though I'm well nourished, I'm still tired and slightly hung over :rolleyes:
Musicians and their drinking problems... hehe

A salt bagel or two with creme cheese. If they come right out of the oven even better.

I can get by with chaulk-full bowl of cereal with the fixin's and maybe some yo-gurt. Used to be I'd do homefries and some scrambled. No more.

Commutes to woik are done on an empty tank.

Large strawberry smoothy made with soy milk, fat yoghurt and a banana.

That is about as heavy as I personally would go in the morning. And even then at least an hour before a ride for me.

Big bowl of Fiber One cereal with some Grape-Nuts and a bit of sweet cereal...If I'm doing a looong ride, I will add a protein bar.

Seems to keep me going for a long time.

[Javaman]

Special K and fruits. And I take a bunch of "snacks" with me while riding. I guess that's why I'm not losing weight... :crap: :D

[false_Aest]

4-6 egg whites, cheese dark rye and tea/coffee --> 30-45min wait --> ride.

post ride is whey protein, creatine, BCAAs mixed in 1 C plain yogurt or OJ.
