When I ride (or excercise) a lot, as I have this week, I get a huge appetite. I think this is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, my lack of appetite when I don't exercise contributes to me feeling generally unhealthy when I don't exercise. On the other hand, when I do exercise and have an appetite, I have to find lots of food, and it has to be lots of food that I won't get tired of.

How do you deal with food. I know some of you are in the same situation I'm in now, getting home late due to a long commute...

this can make it hard to have a dinner cooked at a reasonable hour. And I don't think it's good to depend too much on microwave meals.

And then there's lunch. I often have a hard time coming up with lunches that I find palatable.

How do all you bike-commuters deal with getting meals prepared? Do you have any handy tricks or tips you'd be proud to share?
