That after ride hunger

[John-Ellis]

I dont know about you guys and girls but when I have been out for a ride and it gets to about 9pm I get crazy hungry.

Now I usually fill my face with buscuits and a can of coke, however last night I had a bowl of cereal and a couple of slices of toast with a cup of tea.

I enjoyed the cereal and toast and my teeth didnt feel as sticky.

Just completed a nice 8 mile ride time was a little short tonight, but the weather was great.

beautifully descriptive and yes, after a ride i am famished and make an effort not to simply fill my face with junk - i'm usually still fairly ravenous the following day.

That will be why

That will be why

ha! I don't want to burn all those calories only to replace them in one burger though, do I?!

Symptoms of poor nutrition!

It would be wrong if you wouldn't feel hungry after a long and sustained effort. Glycogen levels in muscles have dropped and the body is asking for carbs to replenish them. Also a signal for all sorts of nutrients that are needed for recovery. I would choose fruits over cereals though for their better nutritional content.

You should be following up exercise with protein and carbs.

Thanks for the advice I get plenty of fruit for in my snap at work so there is always loads of fruit in the fridge.

No fruit, beer and chips have all the vitamins and minerals required for effective recovery after a ride. Also smoke lots.
