hippy said:

Most of the stuff I've read seems to say to allow
2-4 hours between eating a meal and riding.

I am definitely not gettign up at 3:30am for my pre-BR weetbix. Ahh
maybe that's the problem, I'm not peaking till after I get home.

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?

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

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 8 Weet-Bix
with light milk and 4 slices toast with marmalade (no butter) every morning
before riding to work (about 1 hour ride). I also have mid-morning snacks at
9ish and 1030ish (usually fruit).

I am pretty big and have a high metabolism so my eating patterns would prob
not be suited for you, but it is important to fuel the body first thing in
the morning (especially before exercise).

I find that the only problem with eating heaps is that when I have holidays
at Christmas and stay off the bike for a couple of weeks, my eating habits
stay the same and I generally put on a couple of kilos by the time I get
back to work and back on the bike. This year I might even try something
novel with a combination of cutting back a bit on the food and throwing in a
couple of rides a week.

Ride On,

Gags

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 the more to look forward to as well, breakfast from the bakery... seen as 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 to have maybe a slice of toast with honey or something.

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

bingo, very true. last i heard is was around 43 litres a year per person.
Around the western world, blue collar workers drink beer. In WA they drink milk, flavoured milk. Also, i have to say after my recent east coast filanderings, the reason is because we have the best tasting flavoured milk as well.
