After a long ride, if I don't eat a protein pretty quickly, I eat all day. If I only eat carbs, I'm hungry that day and still ravenous the next day. I just did a tough century yesterday, and I didn't eat enough during the ride, or get a protein soon enough afterwards, so I'm still paying for it now.

So, y'all are saying that finishing off the curry (Mmmmm... Thai green curry...) at dinner rather than leaving that last bit for lunch tomorrow wasn't being greedy? I was just making up for the twenty-odd km I rode today?
If y'all aren't, SHUT UP!
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

My favorite post-ride fuel is either soymilk & protein powder (chocolate of course!) or fruit juice (e.g., orange/mango) and vanilla protein powder. It is important to add some protein with carbs as they work together - carbs help muscles uptake protein and protein will rebuild muscles. I always try to get something like this about 30 minutes or less after riding.

Mmmmmm.....food....
I'm *always* hungry, whether I've done anything or not, so riding tends to simply stoke the fires a little hotter!
