What do you eat before a ride?

When you kids get to be my age, you'll know what your body likes.

Don't be afraid of food, and don't be shy about food. If you are hungry, eat!

I have to say that while I couldn't stomach a breakfast like that either, the women I know who are the most cut and have low bf% eat A TON of protein and commonly have big hunks of meat at all meals. You have to feed the machine...but it's also tricky to find the right balance. I have had a lot of luck though with large breakfasts. For me it's usually greek yogurt, oats, nuts & ground flax w/ some berries mixed in. 600-800 cals for breakfast depending on what I'm doing that day keeps my metabolism happy.
