Cereal or oatmeal for breakfast. Fast and simple. I try to boil some eggs beforehand since it takes too long to do so in the morning.

I recently been eating whole wheat bread with peanut butter and apple butter just before I ride. It is like rocket fuel.

During a fitness ride I eat bananas and lightly salted cashews.

For lunch I eat a salad or left overs from dinner. I make sure to drink green tea during the daytime for my caffeine fix. Maybe snack on more nuts: cashews, almonds, or walnuts.

Post ride: Protein fest of low fat chicken or fish with sun dried tomatoes and garlic eggplant spread, garlic, onions, some spices, low fat yogurt, veggies like broccoli, eggplant or zucchini. Maybe some starch like whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce or brown rice with some curry. I'll treat myself to an apple or orange afterwards.

I've been eating so much better and riding more and the results are amazing. I am in the best shape of my life. Lost 50lbs. 20 more to go.

I really should eat a bigger breakfast and don't eat so much at night after a ride, but so far this lifestyle change has been working. Once I hit a wall with my weight lost, I'll follow the recommendation of eating a big breakfast, a medium lunch and a small dinner.
