After a ride I will have rice, or couscous, some grain, maybe beans (trying to get more protein) and a huge salad or something like that. I have been trying to get in the routine to eat RIGHT after I ride. But like today, that didn't make any difference to my lingering hunger after my 45 mile ride.

I do eat mostly whole grain and brown rice, but I crave jam and honey like a 5 year old. Being mostly vegan my diet is pretty plain and simple lots of veggies, grains, fruit, and soymilk. I get most of my fats from soymilk, chocolate (I like chocolate) , and olive oil.

I guess it is good to hear, "If I don't refuel within that period, I'll be ravenous for days." Cause I always feel like that and I was wondering if it was common among other cyclists.
