Breakfast...

[bazzadigz C+]

Is it better to have it before or after you go to work? (breakfast that is )

 

[BentMikey]

Both, IMO.

 

[Nicko]

Tend to have mine after, like to work up an appetite...

 

[magnatom]

Need it before I go. Otherwise my stomach would be rumbling all the way to work.

Depends on how far your commute is. If it is only a few miles then you will probably be fine eating after you get to work. 10-15 miles and you may need something before you leave to keep you going at full steam ahead. More than 15 and definately both.

 

[Eat MY Dust]

I have mine after and I do 13 miles in.

 

[goo_mason]

Glass of orange juice and my daily vitamins before I set off on my 10 miles, then Weetabix and tea when I get in.

I'd get too windy and get a stitch if I ate before I hit the road.

You don't really take vitamin supplements do you? That might not be the best plan of action in the light of recent research.

 

[Twenty Inch]

Both, definitely! Porridge and coffee before, honey sandwich after. Yum!

don't worry. give it a year or two and "recent research" will tell is it's ok to take vitamins again. haven't you noticed how a lot of research, especially nutritional that gets into popular press, cyclically contradicts itself?

 

[BentMikey]

At best they're just an expensive way to turn your urine yellow. Do you really believe supplements are a good thing? With anything you can probably pick and choose whatever you want, unless you think a little deeper and look at the broad consensus.

Whatever suits you, really.
I'd rather cycle on an empty stomach for 20-30 mins than on a full stomach. I shower and have brekkie at work (yoghurt and bran flakes) then a smoothie for lunch, and something a bit more substantial in the evening, if I can be bothered to make it.
But whatever you choose, don't skip breakfast completely.

Both - Porridge before and muesli after. Both with a cup of tea.

The 15 mile commute is done on a bowl of muelsi (Dorset Cereal) and honey. The 45 mile Sunday ride is done dry and empty with coffee, toast and jam after.

I just can't see how you lot eat as much as you do? If I ate what you did I'd have trouble getting out the door.
