I'm Pooped

[pll]

I went to a nutritionist who scolded me for doing 45-50 miles and not eating a little something (a hard boiled egg, half a banana) every hour of the ride. I end like Reesha describes, "done for the day." It does not matter what I eat afterwards. I don't feel like stopping every hour and eating. Hence, I now recognize glycogen depletion, and it is no longer a surprise to me. I wish it came with naps -- I have never been able to nap.

PS: said nutritionist is also a cyclist.

Correction: While I recall a mention of every hour, in she wrote to me "Hydrate AND fuel with calories during rides greater than 45 minutes to avoid glycogen depletion, as discussed. Eat small snack immediately upon return if planned meal is > 1 hour away." I think we all follow the eating within an hour of returning.
