I eat whatever the heck I want, whenever the heck I want, and enjoy my trip to the fullest; rather than getting my knickers into a twist over my weight.
I haven't a clue what I weighed before and after a trip cycling around in Germany and the Netherlands, and frankly I don't care. There are so many more interesting things to do traveling in another country than fretting over calories-in vs. calories-out. And they make much better stories...
Eat, drink, and be merry!

before tour: eat well, lots of delicious food. Strive for good quality complex carbs, proteins like beef and fish and lots of fruit and vegies, low fat, but high in flavor, textures, garlic, and chocolate. Hydrate.
on tour: anything and everything I want though fried disagrees with me but if it's in front of me or in reach, I'm eating. Stop at back roads fruit stands, intriguing coffee shops and diners, get churos for the group at the donut shop that appeared like a mirage before a big hill when I felt about to bonk, buy tropical fruit bars from the guy who pedaled his cart out to us at the Mission ... And always more chocolate. Food is travel, part of the memories.
after tour: try to remember I'm not riding 60-80 miles a day for the time being. Get back to "before tour". Have chocolate.Last edited by Trek420; 07-04-2010 at 05:53 PM.

I eat all the local specialities!!!
I don't worry abt it too much because naturally I'd stay away from things that might give me gas or want to go to the toilet, because that's just inconvenient. Calorie-wise, I'm burning so much I just eat what I want
By the way shootingstar, how was your trip? did you put up some pictures and such?
