Thanks for the help
Hmm,
I know there are much more informed on this topic here than I; so I will share what I do:
Breakfast:
High fiber cereal or oatmeal with a piece of fruit. (largest carb load meal)
Snack: 1/2 banana (or other piece of fruit/baby carrots, celery, etc...)
Lunch: Salad, fruit, perhaps a Turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread.
Snack: Other 1/2 banana
Dinner: Chicken breast, salad, and and 1/2 cup of veggies. (least carb load meal)
Snack: Nuts
The trick for me was realizing that as the day goes on you need less carbs to fuel the body. This is a typical day. If I was doing long rides I would change things around a bit. Also, on my resistance training days, I up the protien with a second peice of boneless-skinless chicken breast.
I'm also Type II Diabetic. So my portions are bit differnt that what a "normal" person can get away with.
Hope this helps.
