Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My breakfast: Eggs, toast, OJ, banana.

On a related note to "shakes" - I have been drinking this organic chocolate milk during the day and it really curbs my desire for junk food - ice cream based milk shakes, cookies, etc... It has less fat and protein and potassium, fewer calories too, than what I would end up eating in junk food.

Where do you get stevia powder?
Well around here only Trader Joes sells it. It is marketed/sold as a "supplement" and not a sweetener. There is some debate for why it is so, but thats for another thread.

Well even with tons of riding some of us gain weight very very easily. Besides personally I like shakes, as a replacement for that afternoon ice cream snack or whatnot. For breakfast I preffer oatmeal thought. Seems like if I do a shake I am starving by 10 am.

Its not about Dieting. Its about eating Healthy, and getting enough carbs/protein for your ride. I dont technically "diet" but my diet consists of VERY healthy foods.

If I know, to restore your body pro-athletes (football, hockey and may be bikers) are eating meat (beef or veal). Also to supplement your vitamin balance you can take a vitamin peals.

Frozen berry's (your choice, I use blueberry's) vanilla yogurt, vanilla soymilk, whey protien. The ice cream, low fat or not, is still mostly fat.

You could ditch the ice and just use frozen strawberries and nanners.

On another note: Does anyone notice that when you eat any sort of non-healthy snack (like ice cream or cookies, etc), you get more tempted to continue eating in that pattern?

I think that's what happened to me, but I'm pretty curious about that.

this tastes like a milkshake:
8 oz 8th continent light soy milk
scoop of whey protein
scoop of whole ground flax seed/ground steel cut oats
1/2 banana
3-4 large frozen strawberries
handful frozen blueberries
shot of orange juice

This usually makes a pretty big shake, so I typically have half for breakfast and the other half as an afternoon snack.

• 1 cup of mixed frozen berries (raspberry, strawberry & blueberry)
• 2 Tbls Organic 2% pro-biotic yogurt, plain
• 5 Tbls Hemp Hearts
• 1 Tbls Salba
• 1 scoop of Nu-Greens profile powder
• 1 scoop of glutamine powder
• 3/4 cup of water

Covers all the bases, no GI spikes, easy to digest, loads of fiber and really tasty.

YUM!!!
Very similar to mine. Not sure why, but using the banana really brings out the PB flavor. Not nearly as good with one or the other, IMO.
