right then, a grown bloke is supposed to consume 2550 calories a day.
if you were to eat this in 1 foodstuff, what would that food be?
also, what foodstuff is the optimum fuel for cycling?
Battered Dripping in chocolate sauce, with pork scratching on the side...
And a green salad as a starter.
Optimum food for cycling is chips and beer I think. Something to do with carbohyrogenatedproteins.

Fruit, Carbs, Fat, Protein (probably at least a bit in the milk in the chocolate) - what's not to like?
Oats are meant to be good as a slow release energy food item so I suppose a good flapjack recipe could be a goer perhaps
Pizza.
Pork scratchings...
Guiness.
and
Guiness.
jelly babies
erm as you know lots but for riding i would take flapjacks
I thought there was hardly any fat in Jaffa Cakes?
edit: according to their site only 1g of fat - needs a bit more lard surely?
Chips & Cheese on a nan bread with garlic mayo
why not?
I still struggle to see how I need as much food as you.
I only have 1/2 the capacity to fill. 😉
Pies and beer sound a good start though, you could always try to meet the 2550 calories the Vegan way, ain't that right Junkyard?

Apologies for the use of the daily mail.
In Sleaford in Lincolnshire some 16 years ago, I discovered the perfect food. Kebab meat pizza. It contains the major food groups - those being kebab, saturated fats and pizza - in almost perfect ratios. It is the food of champions.
Oh - Basal Metabolic Rate might give people the specifics for their own calorific requirements:

Hmmm i did a little riding fuel experiment on Tues at Glyncorrwg's skyline cafe, post a ride of White's level i opted for an all day breakfast - fried eggs, black pudding, bacon, sausages etc as well as a cup of coffee, a lucozade and a massive slice of rocky road cake, then as my mates headed back to the van to pack up i decided to head straight up White's climb again to do the Skline shortcut.
Amazingly i was only sick in my mouth about every 10 yards but didn't waste a drop lol. Think next time i'll have a cider instead of lucozade just to further enhance the experience and maybe leave it 5 mins longer before i head back out for a ride!
Think i missed my calling as a sports nutritionist 😀
