Veronica: I'm like you with the PB except for me it's AB (almond butter)!
I could eat it all the time.

Breakfast: bagel with almond butter or soy "yogurt" and very, very strong coffee. On at least one weekend day I have Morningstar Farms sausage and a couple of eggs and very, very strong coffee.

Lunch:a salad of some sort or leftovers. Or almond butter and _______ sandwich (fill in the blank with either raspberry jelly, honey, or bananas). Water or juice to drink.

Dinner: whatever hubby makes. In the summer it's lots of chicken this or that (chicken caesar, chicken stir fry on the grill). And salads with either chicken or salmon. Rest of the year pasta at least one night with some sort of green vegetable (I always have to have something green) or some sort of ethnic dish (hubby likes to cook, thank goodness. If it was up to me we'd have burritos every night). No alcohol during the week unless it's been a particularly bad day at work and I need a half shot to "take the edge off" (I haven't had to do that too much in the last year).

Snacks: Lots of water, pretzels or Ak Mak crackers, bananas, apples (currently burned out on baby carrots). To satisfy my "sweet" urges, I usually have a DC (diet Coke) in the afternoon. Helps me make it through rest of the day as well. And mints...lots of mints.

Pre workout: tortilla with almond butter or bagel-Morningstar Farms-egg sandwich if I have time. I always have a Gu-like substance before starting any ride over 1.5 hours or so.

Post workout: the first thing I can get my hands on! No, really: water and some sort of crackers or bread usually do the trick (nothing too sweet right after a workout).

Can you say "carbohydrate freak"?
