Thanks for the input so far folks. Can’t say I’m not doing any of the above though.
I tend to have a fry up before a big ride (I find carb only breakfasts go through me too quick and having some slower release fat and protein with carbs keeps me fuller for longer).
Then about 2 hours into a ride I’ll have a jam and peanut butter sandwich with a tracker bar. Then about 1hr30 after that I’ll have a bar and a banana. Usually gets me through about 5 hours that way.
Then when I get home I have 4 egg whites in a smoothie with banana and almond milk (I can’t do dairy due to gut issues so whey protein is out).
Then a decent meal within an hour of that smoothie usually too.
What I can’t get my head around is why I’m getting it worse than I used to? Could it be to do with my weight loss?
