Eating for training

[SadieKate]

I just came across this article on VeloNews. Since eating seems to be a major topic of conversation, thought I'd share. I like that they also provide the numbers for a 135 lb woman. Now will someone please pass the cookies?

Eating for High Intensity Training

Their sample menu looks my menu for a rainy laying-on-the-couch day! Only 2 goo packs for a 3-hour ride!?! I'm hungry just thinking about it!

Yes, please pass the cookies !

I make GORP... now I know there are inumerable recipes for GORP, but this is what I used for running and this is what I use for biking:
***not for people with nut allergies***

GORP for 2

2 x ziplok sandwich bags
2 Very Berry Powerbars (pick flavor of choice)
2 ind bags regular M&M
2 ind bags peanut M&M
1/4 cup each baggie mixed nuts
1/4 cup each baggie favorite granola-like cereal (I use Great Grains)
1 regular sized PayDay candy bar.

-Cut Powerbar into 1 in. cubes, roll btn palms to make balls, put 1 cut up bar in each baggie
-add to each baggie 1 bag reg M&M, 1 bag peanut M&M, 1/4 cup mixed nuts,1/4 cup cereal, 1/2 PayDay sliced into bite size bits

Shake and throw in the fridge... before ride take it out of fridge and shove it in a jersey pocket.

And that's how I came to CA and rode 50 miles when I hadn't been on my bike since last summer.
