Commuter food use continued....

I've started another thread as the other got so dispersed that I couldnt
keep track of what i'd and replied to, so this is a summary reply...


Some very interesting ideas there, and despite my negativity (I do still
do the ride, just found it expensive with the food!) I'm willing to give
some of the ideas a try in the coming weeks and see how i get on. I've
dug out an old pair of LED lights I had, they're only supplemental in
real darkness but for dimness they'll do fine - should mean the big
(heavy) lights last both ways for the periods of darkness.

I've noticed I love rice pudding with jam and can eat that in the
mornings without feeling ill - that should help a little I'm willing
to give porridge a shot, despite it having the general consistency and
appeal (lol) of sick . Maybe I'll get used to it - who knows!

Theres been a list of very handy food suggestions that provide good
calorific content with little or no real fat content, which look good
and if I buy a big batch in I can have a selection in my drawer and take
what takes my fancy.

I'll take my protein shake to work and use that to fill the 10am blues
until lunch. Lets see if all that helps!

Thanks for the tips everyone, I've printed out recipes and several of
these posts to keep me going for at least a month or so lol

Regular rice pudding is yummy but full of sugar and fat, the low-sugar
low-fat rice stuff is pretty foul.

Not necessarily - some sweet and/or fatty stuff isn't yummy. :-)

Friend tried that once when going off on long rides as a keen teenager. Was
looking for the ideal cycling food. Looks on mum's chart of food stuffs and
energy values - hmm, lard and sugar are both tasty, cheap and loads of
energy. Dutifully mixed up a paste of the two and set off. AIUI it took
about one bite before he went to the nearest shop...

Salt.

The English always eat it with much too little salt, and then wonder why it
tastes disgusting.

And don't feel you have to stick to recognised eating times.
I sometimes work better with a light lunch at 11 am and another at 2 pm,
rather than midmorning and midafternoon snacks trying to fill the gaps
until lunch/dinner.

I'll happily eat porridge made with water and nothing else[1]. I
suppose it's a matter of how much sugar/salt/whatever you're used to,
and maybe whether you consider food to be a source of pleasure or just
sustenance.

So porridge requires a lot of salt to stop it from tasting disgusting?
Don't stop, you're winning them over!
