Then again, sometimes, you just have a bad day. There are days where I have gone out and feel like I'm going to die... and other days where I fly along.

You have to figure out what works for you nutrition wise. I will say that cardio on a bike is less jarring and thus easier to consume food before/during, without getting sick or cramps from it.
Hmmm, the night before I had yummy Lebanese food consisting of beef, chicken, rice, and hummus. I don't think I've been on the hungry side lately.

You could be right. You don't always have 100% rides, right? It could have just been an off day. I know that nutrition is very important when it comes to cycling and I'll have to figure out what works for me. So much to learn!
