I should clarify something else -

I AM NOT an expert in this nutrition stuff. I've just stumbled across stuff that seems to work for me, and information that seems reasonable when I've read it. After a few years of long distance riding, I know what works FOR ME... and more importantly, what doesn't.

YMMV, and I may be full of crap. I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV. And I do not remember the last time I stayed at a Holiday Inn. And Tony Soprano is my hero.
