D: salad with mixed greens, roast chicken, homemade garlic-walnut-mayo, zucchini and carrot "noodles"
Treat: a very small amount of homemade pecan-cashew butter with a few raisins - unsure why I love this so much but it is like crack!

S: Lara Bar at 3:30, banana at 5:30
D: chick pea curry and whole wheat cous cous, 2 squares dark chocolate

[Catrin]

For me it is all homemade nut butters that are addictive, but I do limit how much I can have daily. 1 tablespoon a day, like a supplement THIS time it is a blend of pecans, cashews, and 100% cacao powder.

Yesterday
B: usual eggs, veggies, coffee
L: chocolate chili over a small amount of sprouted red rice. My body seems fine with the latter.
S: roasted chicken with a small amount of more rice.

1 hour challenging KB comp training session, set a PR! Also ripped a callus but that is going to happen from time to time. Followed by protein shake
S: chili over greens

[Crankin]

What does sprouted red rice taste like? I may head over to the natural foods store later... this is the disadvantage to working part time! I've already been there once this week.

half a Lara Bar before a 17.5 mile ride

S: whole wheat pita crackers, Machengo slice

Can't remember what I ate Friday
yesterday:
B: 2 egg omelette with cheddar, strawberries/blueberries, 1/4 avocado, slice of spelt taost with home made jam, coffee

S: ate another Lara Bar when I got home and had coffee

I am genuinely interested in what other people eat on a daily basis-- especially here at a women's cycling forum! I want to know how people eat before big races and long rides. I'm curious to see what kind of spread we have here.

I will start

Today I ate:

No breakfast That's a huge no-no, but I woke up late and didn't have time to grab anything before swimming this morning!

Lunch:
Gardenburger without the bun
A heap of steamed broccoli
Roasted cherry tomato salad
A couple ounces of turkey on the side

Dinner:
A large bowl of brown rice with two eggs scrambled and delicious kimchi
Glass of OJ
