Evening. Rice and a tin of beans, olive oil and tabasco.

If I find somewhere that sells tofu, or texturised soja protein, then that gets to be a luxury meal. Pasta occasionally...

I eat this day in, and day out on tour, for months on end. Cheap and nutritious. I think I could live on it forever
If you are riding 50+ miles a day, sometimes under adverse conditions, is that enough protein to sustain you day in and day out?
