Training & Nutrition - What do you eat to energize before a logging your bikeforums.com miles?

I don't know about you, but I just had some cookie dough ice cream.

I'm feeling ready for some high-powered e-mileage.

Mike,as I post this reply now I am eating : a soy and linseed wholemeal bun w/ chargrilled chille tuna , cheese, alfalfa, mustard and potato salad .....woohoo it's yummy .

I had some popcorn. :)

I'm having some fruit salad but the idea of cookie dough ice cream is making it taste a little less than adequate.

:D

Just had a T-bone steak. This boy's gotta get his protein.

I usually post immediately after a ride, so mine can vary. Sometimes it's before breakfast, other times it might be salad, pasta, an excessive amount of fruit or anyone of a million other things.

I prefer to surf Bike Forums with a bag of pototo chips and an ice cold Coca-Cola. Mmmmm!

I always coast through here on an empty stomach.

You guys are making me hungry!
Steele Bike, are you sure you're not related to Dan Quayle?;)
Pototo?:eek:

Okay... now I'm eating toasted seven-grain bread with peanut butter, drinking a cup of coffee. Just had a bowl of 3.5% yogurt with blackberries, strawberries, wheat germ and soy nuts.

What do you mean, you don't like peanut butter?

(Isn't Vegemite a powerful, vegetable-based explosive?)

:D

The only thing better than that is two of each (maybe with some homemade jam)!

Vegemite - huh! just a pale imitation of Marmite - now when you've been to Burton-On-Trent and smelt the peculier combination of breweries and Marmite production you'll see the light :D

Any food made as a by-product of beer can't be bad ;)

When I was a kid in Werris Creek, there were many schoolyard battles fought over what one had on their sangers. Vegemite vs Peanut butter. It goes without saying which side I was on.

We hear a lot about vegamite, but you can't find it in any typical stores outside of Australia.

Finally, my Australian friend sent me some and I found out why it is only found in Australia. IT TASTES TERRIBLE. It tastes like funky beef boullion paste gone bad.

This is not meant as an insult to our Austrialian friends, rather it is meant as a compliment. Australians must be the toughest people on earth to eat that stuff.

I have had catapillars in the jungle that taste better than Vegamite.

I was raised on vegemite, it's the best stuff in the world. :thumbup:

That is what is so funny. Australians really do seem to enjoy it.

It is like those funky black rotten eggs that Chinese people eat. They love it and everybody else watches their Chinese friends eat those stinky black jelly gooeys as if they were space aliens.

Vegemite, Chinese thousand day eggs, Japanese fermented raw squid in it's own juice; I'm culturally diverse and curious but blek, blek, blek.

I've heard that in parts of Africa they actually eat flies and mice. :eek:

Chris, I tasted Vegemite in Brisbane, once.

:D
