I have had some real problems with this, so you are not alone. I find I lose my appetite and can feel quite nauseous when trying to eat food, because I know I must. This has generally happened on my longer rides of over 200kms. On my first 400km Audax I got back to the start point at the 200km mark and they had some lovely hot pasta, but I just couldn't eat anything. I had a sleep for a couple of hours then forced myself to eat a couple of rolls, but it was a struggle.
I am still working out how to get round this. What seems to work, is to make sure I am eating something at least every 30 minutes, even it is just a sweet or something similar. I rode to Edinburgh in the summer and only had one similar feeling when we stopped near Spalding. Again I had to force myself to eat, but after that I was fine.
