Goldfish excess

[Wahine]

I have just finished eating an entire bag of whole wheat goldfish. Yes they are super processed and yes I am ashamed of myself but I did ride 120 miles yesterday with 9000 feet of climbing and this seems to be a direct result of post long ride hangover... at least they were whole wheat.

So please tell me about the crazy things that you eat after a long ride. It'll make me feel better.

[LBTC]

day after a long ride
I eat everything and twice as much as usual

baked snap peas are my favourite. I can eat a whole bag of those after a hard ride...

but I really try to not give myself that opportunity. :rolleyes:

[kelownagirl]

I ate half a bag of cheezies tonight... That's pretty bad for me.

[Wahine]

LBTC - Snap peas!! We're talking excess here not healthy!! ;):D

KG - Cheezies definitely count as excess.

You know those good hard cheezies you get in Canada, I can't remember who makes them, starts with an H I think... anyway, you can't get them here, just cheetos and those kind of nasty cheezies. There are things that I really miss about Canada... MacIntosh Toffee, J Clothes...

[LBTC]

J clothes?
Hawkins cheezies. I have a soft spot for those myself....too bad I don't tolerate dairy....
Toffee.
I can do that. Next trip down. :)

Read the nutritional breakdown - those snap peas are excess! (except in small doses like I usually eat them)

Maybe it's Jay Cloths. You can't get them here. Hawkins!! That's what I'm talking about.

[kelownagirl]

They weren't Hawkins, they were the soft kind that are like soft orange styrofoam that melts in your mouth. Not one redeeming characteristic, other than I like the taste.

I did burn 1500+ calories today though, and I'm pretty sure I didn't eat that many calories in cheezies...

J-Cloths. I have some of those.

After my 10 slow-paced and pokey miles (equivalent to 1000 of your killer miles due to my severe out-of-shapedness) I had a rare filet mignon, tossed salad with Ranch dressing, mashed potatoes slathered and swimming in butter, and a gallon of sweetened iced tea.

That was four hours ago. Currently I'm contemplating a bowl of double chocolate ice cream but since I don't have any, I'll just dream about it.

[andtckrtoo]

After my half marathon I replaced the lost carbs with fluids with a respectable quantity of beer, and a pulled pork sandwich with the best freakin' garlic fries on the face of the earth. And I ate every last one! :D

I do have to admit that after 120 mile bike ride with 9000 feet of elevation gain, I'd not feel too badly about a whole bag of goldfish. I did 1/3 of that and wondered if I ate enough.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Last night after our long hot climb-y ride I had two Klondike bars and a GIANT bowl of popcorn for dinner. Along with a couple quarts of electrolyte/vitamin water. :D

[salsabike]

After long tandem rides, we go for microwave popcorn. All that SALT.

After I lose ALLLLL the rest of this weight...please introduce me to your cheezies. There is a kind of cheese wafer thing I can only get back home in Albany NY that I love passionately. I forget the exact name, but I took to calling them "Hanford Wafers" because the cheese filling is a BRIGHT fluorescent orange rarely seen in nature. They are so salty and so totally bad and I love them.

PS Wahine, I would like to hear a little about your upcoming endurance ride...

[kelownagirl]

OMG, my other two favourites, but I honestly rarely eat them, are these horrendous Ritz "Cheese" filled crackers that my son has sometimes (and I sneak them once in awhile).

Also, I adore graham crackers with Nutella but that's only slightly bad for me.

[Mr. Bloom]

Cheese Its:o

At least it's not Tim Tams:rolleyes:

[dex]

Sour cream and onion flavored potato chips. I love them, especially on days when I've had a hard workout of some sort. I have to make someone physically remove the bag from my presence in order to stop eating them.

It used to be pretzels (particularly Combos or peanut butter filled ones), but I've since found that wheat may not love me as much as I love it.

[OakLeaf]

Cookies.

I don't even need to ride. :rolleyes:

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

One of my favorite indulgences is a big bowlful of salted fresh tomato wedges literally covered with a mountain of sour cream. :eek: :p

[bluebug32]

Beer and any kind of salty snack I can find.

[Blueberry]

Pretzel sandwiches with cheese in between (I think they're Snyder's?).

Peanuts.

Chocolate chips.

[rocknrollgirl]

Plain Lays Chips.....we eat them on the way home from racing, we do not even wait until the day after munchies.....

[Grits]

m&m's: plain or peanut, I like them both!
Starburst jellybeans
Baked Lays BarBQue Potato chips. (Baked -that's almost healthy!)

what can I do to get a filet mignon? hmmm.

I'm eating a giant bowl of popcorn right now, and I didn't even ride today!

PS Wahine, I would like to hear a little about your upcoming endurance ride...

It's a 12 hour endurance road race. You ride as far as you can in 12 hours. There is a big loop (that's the 120 miles I did this weekend) and a smaller loop, that's relatively flat (only one real climb and that's only 3 miles long - interesting how my perspective has changed). You have to complete the big loop to get an official finish and then you do as many miles on the small loop as possible. I'm doing this as a 2 woman relay team with SprocketsMom. It's on Sept 6th and it's gonna be fun!!! All of my crazy ultra endurance buddies will be there. I'm very excited.:D:D

Oh yeah! Do I remember right that the small loop is about 25 miles, or did I just make that up?

I expect you all will have a blast.

Buy your goldfish beforehand.

[Wahine]

Yup, I probably told you 25 miles but it's actually 27. Hee hee. SprocketsMom came out for the big ride with me this weekend. She had a difficult day but toughed it out. We're gonna be a good team.

[rocknrollgirl]

Pass the chips...........

[Aggie_Ama]

Route 44 Coke easy on the ice, so yes 44 oz of coke! :eek:

Also have stopped at Dairy Queen for Blizzards, Cold Stone Creamery for a big ol' ice cream and EZ's for a half pound burger with cheese and bacon, fries/onion rings and a shake. Oh yes and I forgot Woody's Ice House after the Katy Flatland, another massively oversized burger.

This wasn't after the same ride but lets just say eating well after a century or so is not my strong point. My excuse is the Texas heat really makes you nutty but I have never been strong with food. It is amazing I am not more overweight than I am.

Most recent long ride was the Enchanted Circle (85 miles of mountains and hills), I ate a salad with ranch, fried fish and chips. Plus kept the poor water busy by having 5 or 6 cokes. Then stopped by the Fudge shop in Red River. :o

[katluvr]

You all are making me hungry. Stomach is growling.
Of cousre I am try to LOSE weight. I am at work and have a lovely lunch of frozen veggies and grilled chicken and a plum. What I really want/need right now is a brownie or choc chip cookie. :(
Oh well!

[Raindrop]

Brownies (soft and fudgy...if available), otherwise Terra chips (which are healthy only in the way yams and beets and yukon gold potatos can be after being deep fried, in healthy oil I'm sure;), and covered with salt. If neither of those are available, white cheddar cheese covered popcorn!!!!

[CarbonCandy]

+1 on the brownies :D

[solobiker]

Last night after our long hot climb-y ride I had two Klondike bars and a GIANT bowl of popcorn for dinner. Along with a couple quarts of electrolyte/vitamin water. :D

Gosh, I have not had a Klondike bar in years, until now...had to go out and get some. YUM

[berkeley]

Salt and vinegar chips.

I nearly ate the whole bag the other weekend after a 50 miler. :eek:

[Sprocket's Mom]

Can the answer to "what do you eat" be "YES"?

Seriously, there are days where the "see food diet" gets a little out of hand.

but a favorite is Burgerville hot and salty fries dipped into the mocha perk shake. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (need a drooling emoticon here).

I did have a tough day with Wahine but I'm gonna do better...have a new game plan.;)

[Wahine]

Wait a second!!! Doesn't your new game plan involve Hemp??? What if we get tested for drugs???;)

[beccaB]

I ran a marathon once, and after that I ate 7 bowls of steamed spiced shrimp at Chesapeake Bay Seafood house.

[Sprocket's Mom]

:D No problem! I'll blame you. It says right on the can "Product of Canada". :p

[salsabike]

Becca! I am truly impressed.



:D No problem! I'll blame you. It says right on the can "Product of Canada". :p

I will look forward to THIS ride report. And whatever happened to the cheese and rosemary biscuits? :D

[beccaB]

Are you impressed that I ran a marathon, or that I ate 7 bowls of steamed spiced shrimp??

[salsabike]

The 7 bowls, of course!

[Wahine]

:D No problem! I'll blame you. It says right on the can "Product of Canada". :p


ROTFLMAO.

As always, blame the resident Canadian.

Wow, 7 bowls of anything is really impressive, even by my standards.

I ate 2 bowls of rice pasta with organic beef meat sauce and salad tonight to get ready for the sprint tri tomorrow. It's not my usual fish n chips but it's gonna hafta do. I'll let you know how it goes.
