I start the day with a huge bowl of oatmeal that has raisins, roasted almonds and sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, a little brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of milk.

I make my own power bars with peanut butter, oats, honey, and almonds, and raisins at a cost of about 50 cents each... they contain 250-300 calories each and have diverse sources of sugar for sustained energy release as well as protein.

Evening meals are usually smaller portions of meat with lots of veggies and either pasta or rice.

Will often pack a few bananas in my handlebar bag and usually drink only water as most sports drinks contain high fructose corn syrup.

I can eat pretty much anything and when I was training hard and putting in a 10 hour day was putting back 4000 calories a day.
