Chop up some lean bacon, boil up some rice or pasta. Fry bacon until cooked, add the pasta or rice, mix well. Add one egg, mix well for about a minute. Serve.

For a bit extra flavour, add some chopped red onion when you fry the bacon. I like to add some soy sauce once served.

One of my favourites :smile:

Depends on how far and fast you have ridden , TBH for the distances you have mentioned in another post you do not really need a special meal or indeed an extra food at all.
My meal today was classic "Sunday dinner " with roast meat, roast veg , mashed potatoes, yorkshire pudding followed by syrup sponge and custard :hungry:
I normally commute 10 miles on a couple of slices of toast then have a cup of coffe at work before i start and i have a manual job so i can lift over 10,000 pounds total over a full day.

I would expect you to be able to do 5 miles>, straight off the bat. We can revisit nutritional guidance when you are doing rides of a duration that is worthy on such consideration. Until then, just continue as normal.

Often it's beans on toast. And that's after rides of 40-85 miles.

Generally I don't have a 'special' meal, but usually more of it than normal.


Let's assume 2 pieces of toast and 85 beans in a 220g tin of beans.

Then assume that calorific output is constant per mile.

That'll be 4.8% of a slice of toast an 1 bean. 4.8% of a slice could be difficult to work out, so broadly cut slice in 2, then cut one half in 2 again. Then repeat twice. Take one of the smallest segments and roughly take two-thirds of it.

[QUOTE 2473044, member: 30090"]You'd want to rehydrate and eat something with some carbs. Cereal, bread, pasta any of these will be fine. Glad to see you're riding your bike, keep at it and don't give and don't listen to any condescending remarks about distance.[/quote]
Didn't you read the other thread too? The distance done is 1mile.

You'd want to rehydrate and eat carbs after 1 mile rode?

Stop at the chippy on your way home, Large Haddock, chips, sausage, burger, peas and gravy.


Once you start doing 5 mile rides you'd probably better add a buttered bread roll to that as well.




General rule of thumb is to fill up enough to stop your belly button meeting your backbone. I'm not a qualified doctor but should the two ever meet your likely to be in trouble.
