Non techie cycling food

[LeetleGreyCells]

I have health issues with certain foods so have to think carefully about what I eat. My go-to foods are:
Soreen Malt loaf
Rice Crispie cereal bars
Yo-yo bear dried fruit strips
Rice cakes (salt and vinegar, for preference)

…and then sandwiches. I tried peanut butter and didn’t like it. I prefer savoury foods rather than sweet.

Rock cakes for me
Trail mix of nuts and dried fruit

Little and often
Onwards and upwards

I like peanut butter but I can't stand moderation.

Everything in moderation, eh... including moderation itself!

you're nor pedalling far/long enough.

You don't say in your OP what you consider to be a long ride. So how far / long are you pedalling?

Did anyone mention Spam?

My preferred cycling fuel is 2 bags of crisps and 2 pints of beer. Salt , carbs fats and alcohol so that is a pretty non techy but balanced meal.

I'm reading a book based on diary entries of someone who toured a lot in 1920s and '30s and his diet seemed to consist of beer, bread and cheese.

Depends.
100 to 200km.
More average probably 50 to 100 miles for my more food-laden jaunts.

Didn't Guy Martin use Pork Scratching as fuel when he cycled from Canada to Mexico 'offroad'

My kind of cycling does not need powering. Even touring I did some reasonable distances but at my easy pace and stopping to look at anything of interest.

That's my kind of cycling, no rush and enjoy the freedom.

bm bargains had flapjacks in for 79 p in the section with the energy bars

B&M do a nice cherry flapjack for 19p, been that price for years.

 

[cyberknight]

call me mean but I rate that as expensive - prefer my homemade stuff - I can wolf down loads of manufactured flapjacks to get any sort of boost - and I reckon there's often some pretty dodgy stuff in them.

maybe althouhg in a supermarket you would be looking at £2 + for that size

I'll have to give those a go. If I remember, I'll call in at the local store on Monday to buy some.

I try to eat little when I'm on the bike. That way I have plenty of excuses why everyone is overtaking me.

If it's a hard shift, and I'm not finding my rhythm, a beer. Refreshed AND I keep the aforementioned excuse.

Not being a great cake lover, I go for ham rolls and coffee. Near the end, a KitKat.
