My best dinner the night before is chicken chow mein, so then I can have my favorite breakfast, chicken chow mein. Bland, carbs, protein, lasts a long time into the morning!

Second favorite breakfast is bowtie pasta tossed in butter with capers and sun dried tomatoes. I make it the day before and reheat it. Any flavored milk.

Third favorite breakfast is any flavored milk and sushi.

Fourth favorite breakfast is Egg McMuffin or Breakfast Burritos from McDonalds.

During the ride, I drink Gatorade as thirst dictates. I take electrolyte supplements. I eat about one pack of Jelly Belly Sport Beans every hour- 100 calories. At stops, I usually eat Pringles or Cape Cod Kettle Cooked potato chips. Sometimes Funyums. Often string cheese. Choc milk when it's not hot. Sometimes I carry sushi for lunch. Later in the day I like Coke, Coke Blak, or Coke Icees at my stops. I usually stop every 20-30 miles. But I always have something readily available in my Bento box for when I get that feeling like I'm going to die if I don't eat that second.

I always drink choc milk immediately when done as a recovery drink. I used to drink R4, but choc milk is roughly the same, and easier to get.
