Pasta or similar is the traditional after ride meal. Try to eat dinner as soon as you can. The standard advice is to put the pasta water on to boil while you are drinking your recovery drink. If you can't do that, I eat plain bagel, maybe 1/4-1/2 of a bagel every 15 minutes until I start to feel OK. Some kind of carb drip, anyway.
I have actually lost 30lbs in a little over 5 weeks! That does concerns me a little, but I have also gotten stronger in the same timeframe. I should add, I can afford to lose another 30lbs.
