What to eat?

[ColinJ]

if you want a nice boost of energy then do it what ive done before.

Cook 100mg white long grain rice, while boiling add some sugar and stir it up. Eat it with white bread, this is literary a carb bomb but not too filling (at least for me) also carry with you some granola bars etc energy drink might come in handy but there is nothing better like good ol water to keep yourself hydrated

100 mg would only be a few grains of rice - I think you must mean 100 g!

Peanut butter and jam on wholemeal bread always come with me if a long ride is planned.

Thank you for all of the posts guys, I will be having porridge from now on

and dont forget fruits! apricots for example, easy to store, easy to take, yummy and nice source of energy too

 

[ColinJ]

Oh, and I add a handful of raisins to my porridge too!

I like the idea of banana, seeds/nuts honey and sultanas! Simple yet satisfying.

we all now sounds like "healthy food freaks" but in reality aside cycling breakfast we eat tons of meat etc too there is nothing better than rare beef <3

My secret ingredient for the perfect porridge - ground almonds. You can buy it from Lidl/Aldi or Asian supermarkets. Don't be tight and add at least a tablespoon, more if you wish. It gives a smoother porridge that also tastes better.

I also add sultanas and a sprinkle of desicated coconut or cocoa (chocolate porridge, mmm).

Some people I know eat nothing but "soreen" malt loaf whilst out on long rides.

Pre ride its porridge with dried fruit or a banana miixed through it.
During, I make batches of the John Torode flapjack/cereal bars. Featured on the cycle show. These are reallygood.
Post ride. Really varies upon the time of the day.
Drink wise. Its Water and a sports drink

On a club run one winter one guy had the bread and butter pudding with custard , bet his stomach was like lead

For 30 miles i would only take water but everyone different , maybe a flapjack, small bar of something if you need it .
On a club run a cake + coffee is normally enough for me on a 60 miler after a good breakfast as discussed unless its the fast group and i might need something , i like the soft and fruity nutri grain bars but i have a collection of gels from a high 5 sports pack to use .

water and chewy muesli strawberry bar for 30 miles for me
