I've read that W.A. has the highest per-capita flavoured
milk consumption in Australia, so when I go tour the munda-biddi

Where did you read that?

I thought you said you'd downloaded OE-QuoteFix, so why are you still
top-posting?

Plus if it's that late before riding you're not really going to get
benefit out of it as an energy source until a few hours into your
ride. If it gets that late, try a gu or a few jelly babies or
something. About an hour out, a slice of toast is good, it stops me
getting hungry halfway through a short session and if I'm doing a
long ride I'll keep eating throughout. With the above info, I'd say 4
hours is a bit long unless it's a full steak dinner...

Weatbix has a reasonably high GI (69), which is right up there with obvious
rubbish like Cheerios (74). Try rolled oats (42) if you want complex carbs
first thing.

Yep, this is why I put sugar in my water bottles for an early morning ride,
no time for complex carbohydrates to digest, provides energy when I need it,
and prevents me feeling full and maybe nauseous.

BUT . . . . . I ALWAYS have real food after the ride (4 weetbix, cup of
muesli and milk) to replenish supplies and provide a few of the nutrients
missing from just sugar. Which makes me think, you also need B vitamins for
carbohydrate metabolism, and the body doesn't store alot of these, so maybe
I should down a Multi-B tablet as well?

If I get up early in the morning and have no braekfast and go for
20 o
3
k ride, I seem to get tired easilly

However if I have breakfast I feel better
Is this normal

You gotta eat champ.......I can't live without breakfast - I eat
Weet-Bi
with light milk and 4 slices toast with marmalade (no butter) ever
mornin
before riding to work (about 1 hour ride). I also have mid-mornin
snacks a
9ish and 1030ish (usually fruit)

I am pretty big and have a high metabolism so my eating patterns woul
pro
not be suited for you, but it is important to fuel the body first thin
i
the morning (especially before exercise)

I find that the only problem with eating heaps is that when I hav
holiday
at Christmas and stay off the bike for a couple of weeks, my eatin
habit
stay the same and I generally put on a couple of kilos by the time
ge
back to work and back on the bike. This year I might even tr
somethin
novel with a combination of cutting back a bit on the food and throwin
in
couple of rides a week

Ride On

Gag

Ride On

Gags
High metabolism or you have worms! one of the two....

I cant stomach any food before a ride.... makes getting back all th
more to look forward to as well, breakfast from the bakery... seen a
food is my number one reason for exercise in the first place.

for whatever reason running for me is different on long runs I need t
have maybe a slice of toast with honey or something.

but its all personal and your body will adapt to what you throw a
it..

What is the GI of the milk you have with it?

Full fat cows' milk varies from low 20s to 40, skim milk is similar.

And a combination of high GI (weetbix) and low GI (milk) makes an
intermediate GI food?

Coz i can

Low GI (oats) plus low GI (milk) is better.
