I'm a sweet hound, so I'll start by letting you know I eat a minature chocolate everyday (moderation is always good), it helps minimize major sweet attacks.
Breakfast - Oatmeal with skim milk, flax seed, and bananas (if I'm going to do a longer ride that day I'll also have a slice of toast with peanut butter, it's more sustaining)
Lunch - turkey and swiss sandwich (cucumbers, tomato), fruit, glass of milk
Dinner - I'm into black bean chili lately, if hubby is eating with me I'll add turkey, small salad, tortilla
Snack - nuts, or crackers with cream cheese, or a slice of bread with peanut butter
Pre ride - Usually am fine and eat what I normally eat
Post ride - Chocolate Whey smoothie (yummy)
Hydration: Plenty of water and Knudsen Orange Recharge (electolytes without the too sweet aftertaste I get from Gatoraid)
If I start to get bored, I switch around, but try to make sure I get some protein, complex carbs, and fat with every meal (It sustains me so much longer). If I have a craving, I follow it in moderation.
Enjoy!
