Help needed for picky eater

[MomOnBike]

Thanks, I'm going to the health food store pretty soon, I'll look for the Electrolyte. I'll see if they have Larabars, too, but that's probably less likely. We'll see.

I'm trying to avoid hauling a whole week's worth of nourishment with me. I'll probably have to make due with, oh, ice cream cones, or something equally bizarre

The Electrolyte sounds packable, though.

I've found that the bars & drinks available in Kwik-Stop types of places vary based on what area of the country you are in. I do use Gatorade - my preference is for Gatorade Ice, which is clear in color - and found that I need Gatorade or something similar for long rides in hot weather. On the energy bar front, my preference is for Pria bars or Luna bars, but I've tasted enough of the others to know what I can manage to eat - so I can usually find something in those stores. The other thing I make sure I have with me (and that can easily be picked up in that type of store) are some nuts - peanuts are my usual, but cashews or almonds work for me too.

PayDays get a very high nutritional rating - right up there with the fancy energy bars. I use these and Mojo bars which are not so readily available.
