I often do a long way in and a ride at lunchtime or go long way home. As the other thread on being slimmer is now discussing thermodynamics and fruitist vs dairy evolution can we have suggestions for food to take to work that’s filling and tasty that’s good for post /pre rides and will reduce my 16 pack ?
I like sandwiches and they are easy to make but I probably eat too much bread.
i'd eat Vietnamese babies, you'll get less weird looks than when you turn up in sweaty lycra
I commute 30 miles a day and do this:-
Pre Morn Commute: Cup of coffee
At work: before my shower 1 glass of nesquik with soy milk
after shower bowl of museli
Snack: rice cakes and fruit
Lunch: wraps with filling of some sort, crisps and a choccy bar
Before evening commute: Fruit or something
It owrks for me and drinking shed loads of water helps too.
You eat at your desk?!?!? 😯
A lot of folk eat at their desk I would imagine.
You don't?!?!?!?!?! 🙂
Anyway cake and crisps are the way forward.
You get three of your veg portions too. Potatoes, Corn, and the cherry from the top of the gateaux.
A banana and black fresh coffee by the litre.
During summer I stop at the market to buy "fresh" fruit.
During winter I stop at the baker to buy bread/pastries.
I have some rice cake, cheapo jam tart and some chocolate if I am starving day time.
Lunch whatever I got cook from the day before.
What do you mean by "I probably eat too much bread. "
Nutrigrain Elevenses and/or buttered Maltloaf
well what about noreen stuff you know the one from the BBB
16 pack, lol.
when I ride in, I'm hungry all day. I find a mahoosive bowl of porridge helps considerably. try thos Symington Mug Shots, thai noodle style or cheesy nad noodles ...just add hot water.
Choc milkshake?

Like you didn't notice how grim British bread is while you lived here..! 🙂
Muesli is good, but be aware of some of them, which look healthy but are jam packed with sugar.
Porridge is my favourite, I think - jumbo oats are best, as they take longer to break down the starches (so called "slow release" carbs).
Make sure your portion sizes are under control - I've met plenty of people who say "I hardly eat anything unhealthy", but consume 3000 calories of bread and pasta every day.

ROFLMAO
slice of toast and a cup of coffee before I leave, home made fruit and nut bar when I get to work, sandwiches at lunch time, another fru8it/nut bar mid afternoon then a banana just before I leave. Also lots of water throughout the day. In winter I usually have porridge first thing as it's a tough old ride across the moor on the cold days.
20 miles each way and that's enough to see me through the day and ride at a fast pace. And I'm not hungry all day.
OMG what a bunch of slobs!!!
Eating at you desk is gross!!!
Give it some thought.
SB 🙂

Oi It's only gross if it's english food 😉
In France, people officially stop work completely for 2 hours at lunchtime. They leave their workplace, it shuts, they drink wine in bars until 2.30pm, return to work, open up, then tidy up before hometime. Fact.
