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

too many peanuts after the ride

Ok so after my ride today I was hungry and the only thing in the house was a big jar of mixed nuts. I chowed down, and now I am definitely not feeling very well... the reason why I am still awake now.

Seriously... dont eat a half jar of nuts in like 2 minutes... not good for you.. I am still feeling the consequences and it is 5 hours later...

If I were to do that with peanuts, I'd look like I was about 8.5 months pregnant and feel like I was going to die.

2 or 3 peanuts maybe 2 or 3 times a year is about my limit.

i did the same thing with a can of olives the other day. i went on a really long ride and returned home starving. I got desperate and ate a can of black olives, a cucumber, and some almonds. Felt like hell for 3 hours or so after.

I've been known to eat a bunch of peanuts after a ride. I find it's pretty heavy on the digestion though. I think it's because peanuts are both fat and high protein. That's slow to digest. Nowadays, I don't eat any protein foods right after a ride, only later at the next meal. I eat calories, and I particularly like fruit bar type popsicles after a ride.

I had my first allergic reaction to soybean oil after a hard ride once. From that point on I've had trouble with it.

A nurse told me that after heavy exercise and therefore possible dehydration, you are much more susceptible to allergen.

You might want to think about changing this just a bit. Protein is most effective when eaten 30 minutes or less after a ride. My usual strategy is to eat a Met-Rx protein bar after a hard workout, then eat a meal 45 minutes or so later. I've found that the bars don't taste like garbage if you eat them when you're really really hungry

Nuts usually bother my gut after a ride. I've learned to avoid them for a few hours.

I think its the fat that's making you feel ill if your not allergic to them. Assuming you ate half of a 16 ounce jar of peanuts, you just ate about 110 grams of fat. Which is about the same amount of fat in 3 Big Macs from McDonalds.
