after a workout, especially cycling, food has to be interesting to me because i have a very short attention span. i immediately consume 60 grams of carb. in the way of Luna Bars. i like the peanut butter and jelly kind because they are not as sweet as the others. if you are looking for dinner options that are tasty and nutritious, check out any cookbooks by Nina Simonds. she rocks. she definitely has an asian bend on her food. the sauces are flavorful and delicious. you can always substitute brown rice for the white rice, since white rice ranks high on the glycemic index, and sends blood sugar sky high. no i am not a "no carb" fanatic. diabetes is in my family, so i have to be careful what kind of carbs i eat. i also love sushi after a ride. lots of glutinous rice here, but i try and eat the sashimi first, and the rice last.

another book to check out is "Endurance Sports Nutrition" by suzanne girard-eberle.

just my 2 cents,
