Hi, can you comment on the meal that I am having before my rides each day? Lately, I've gotten into a habit of eating this meal everyday before my ride...I ride anywhere from 2-6 hours after eating this. I am worried about too much carb/simple sugar intake alhtough I try to limit sugar intake so I don't get sugar spikes....
2 big bowls of cereal
(1 bowl is ~1.5 cup Wheaties, ~1/4 cup honey bunches of oats, ~1/2 cup omega 6 hemp granola, maybe a tiny dash of grapenuts or something thrown in there)
I eat about 2 tbsp peanut butter with my bowls of cereal
~16 oz. skim milk
usually 1/2-1 banana or some raisins + apple thrown in as well
what do you think? good fuel or bad? workouts range from endurance rides to intervals (i try to give more digestion time if going harder)...
but i really like cereal! just want to know if it is giving me good fuel! thanks.
