Help: Sugar and Carbs are icky

[KnottedYet]

There are a lot of us on TE who don't/can't eat gluten.

Like you, I've found Clif Bloks are the thing that work best for me.

For other carb needs, I've grown quite fond of cold wedges of baked or boiled potato with a little salt. (put 'em in a ziplock baggie) They survive on the bike quite well, and taste good cold or lukewarm. Easy to eat, and no sugar bloat.

Have you tried Clif Shot Electrolyte drink mix? I like it quite a lot, and it's ok on my stomach.

My favorite pre-race breakfast is a pork chop, mashed potatoes, and salad.
Your mileage may vary.
