I'm not cycling much these days other than short easy rides. I have adrenal fatigue, which makes me ... you guessed it ... fatigued. I need a lot of rest and I need to eat every two or three hours. I'm trying to up my whole foods, veggies, etc.
BREAKFAST
Trader Joes Instant Apples & Cinnamon Oatmeal w/ Almond Milk
Trying to make myself switch to non-instant with no sugar, but someone has to finish the box first! Ha! I have Truvia in my oatmeal when it's not pre-sweetened. I really need to have more protein with each meal and I do find I can't last long on just oatmeal and almond milk. I am more satisfied when I have eggs, so that's my norm ... and what I had for lunch.
LUNCH
2 Eggs, sunny side up (organic)
Half an avocado (not organic, cause it's not as important since I'm not eating the skin ... pricey to do organic, so I try to do the most important stuff organic.)
3 slices of tomato (organic)
1 slice whole wheat sourdough toast (with no sugar or preservatives)
SNACK
Organic Apple with Organic Peanut Butter ... no sugar added
DINNER (haven't eaten yet, but this is what we're having)
Sauteed Chicken Strips ... yep ... organic, uncaged, etc. (was going to grill the chicken, but decided to make the kind my daughter loves, since she won't like what else we're having!)
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Salad
SNACK
Might have a piece of toast with peanut butter. I'm really trying to avoid sugar lately, so this is sort of my dessert. I might have a mango instead if they're ripe. I'm really not supposed to have a lot of fruit right now. The sugar makes my adrenals work harder.
I'm going to a nutritionist tomorrow, so who knows what she'll do to my diet! It's a little scary. :eek:
Yesterday:
B: 3 scrambled egg whites + no-fat cottage cheese, 1 slice Ezekiel bread toast, skim milk, coffee

It's one of those "grand re-opening" sales, just in NPT. I'm so psyched. I just bought 2 more pints. I have to remember the "better than paying for candy" comment next winter, when I balk at the price.Quote:

I'm finding oatmeal doesn't work as a pre-ride food at all for me--it doesn't get into my system fast enough, I think. I'm also finding I eat like a pig on ride days. I don't think it's because I think I "deserve" it--it's because I'm genuinely hungry!
Had that heavenly key lime flavored Larabar during my 6 mile walk this morning...
For a late lunch, my s.o James and I went to this amazing mexican place and I had three soft double wrapped corn al pastor tacos. Delish!
Not sure if dinner is on the docket at this hour! Feels earlier than it is!
