"Also, consider the EPOC effect after very long or interval rides. Your body will continue to burn calories to mend the small muscle tears and replace muscle glycogen. The amount of EPOC is directly proportional to the difficulty of the ride. That's why you need to fuel your muscles immediately after a ride if you intend to do it again soon (before 48 hours.)"
I am new to cycling and have had all kinds of advice about eating but nothing as good as this. Thanks for actually explaining the whole process!
I was wondering if you knew anything that might help me. I am a very short very thin gal and am interested in loosing as little weight as possible. It seems like I'm ALWAYS hungry now that I'm cycling multiple times a week. Any ideas on keeping this killer metabolism from eating me alive? I'm just not used to this....

Powerade is my elixir, panacea, cure-all, wonder remedy for me! I find gatorade too salty and within seconds of drinking it my mouth feels parched! I also enjoy a mocha before every ride
