I did 2 hard rides this weekend, totalling just under 90 miles for both days. Hence, an increase in hunger and generally feeling ravenous. I debated skipping detailing what I ate, but here it is.
yesterday:
B: 2 eggs, scrambled with cheddar and 2 slices low fat uncured bacon, blueberries, coffee
S: before 50 mile ride I had a piece of raisin Ezekial bread with almond butter. We didn't leave until 11:15, so I was already hungry! Ate a little of a Luna Bar along the way.
L: had a turkey, lettuce, tomato sandwich on a roll (which was not whole wheat, yuck) and some baked potato chips.
At mile 36, I ate the rest of my Luna Bar. I was starving. Unfortunately, it seems that Nuun is bothering my stomach. I have to find a new electrolyte drink, without Sorbitol.
S: had a 6 inch whole wheat pita with avocado and a piece of Machengo cheese
D: I went to friends for dinner. I ate way too many appetizers, cheese, pita rounds, and spinach dip. Dinner was scrod on roasted tomatoes with bread crumbs, a huge salad, and 2 glasses of white wine. I also had ice cream.
Today:
B: egg whites scrambled with a corn tortilla, salsa and avocado. Pineapple chunks. Coffee
went on a 40 mile ride. Ate 1/2 a Lara Bar before I left.
L: sandwich of 2 slices raisin Ezekial bread and almond butter, one Shot Block. I bought some Gu2o when we stopped and sipped that. My legs were killing me.
S: I ate a Lara Bar before the end of the ride and had a corn tortilla with melted cheddar when I got home. Total liquid was one bottle of Gu2o, 1 bottle of water
D: salad with seared scallops, glass of red wine

Oh, Crankin. If you're feeling a little guilty about what you've been eating, how should I feel?

[Crankin]

I don't know, Owlie.
But, I think you can be a little more forgiving of yourself, since I'm old enough to be your mom. I just wish I didn't get so hungry from hard riding. It's so predictable, so I try to deal with it.

Crankin, please let me know how your electrolyte drink search goes. The sorbitol in Nuun, etc. bothers my stomach too. Finding a low- or no-sugar replacement has been a challenge thus far, so I'd love to hear suggestions from others.
