Bateleur1 Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I would like to find out from my fellow commuters what do you guys eat during the day at work to replace some of the energe spent going to work. I understand the shorter distance travelers propably do not have this problem but I have noticed that even though I am currently on average only cycle to work three times a week, I am still like termite when it comes to food. I would like to know what distances you travel and what you eat. I do about 38 km in the morning and the same distance in the afternoon home. That is about 75 km / day. This is a total of just over 2:30 hours of cycling and burning in the area of about 2600 kcal/day. I eat leftovers which is typically some sort of paste mix rice and some form of meat and veg. During the two snack times I will also have a sandwich.
anybody seen george? Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Bake yourself some bran muffins but stuff the dough full of raisins, sunflower, pumpkin & flax/lin seed, pecans, dried cranberries, dried mango, oats and a little bit of raw whey protein powder.Works a charm!Add as much as you want, just make sure the dough still has a sticky consistency for baking, else the muffin becomes a pile of crumbling weird stuff...
Bateleur1 Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 The secret is having a very good bakery! Well on a 38 km stretch of road in Germany I have a few bakeries to choose from. It does not do my budget any favours and I was thinking of something with a healthy side to it
Catatonic_Joe Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 I usually commute 3-4 times a week, but not near that distance, total about 12km's a day. I do however ride as hard as I can to and from work, so I get pretty hungry during the day. For me peanut butter and jam/honey/golden syrup sandwiches seem to work, and not a lot of work.

In SA i used to be about 25 km in the morning and then a quick 11 km home in the afternoon and that was not a problem. I do the peanut butter sandwich which works to some extend but seeing that my normal daily calorie burn rate without cycling is about 2700 per day I basically double that commuting to work. So need something to replace the majority of the energy but don't want to be eating 3 bowls of pasta every day.
BaGearA Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 peanut butter has fat , oils and protein for days ....so I think its the best option what you eat it on is up to you , my favorite is 2 cut up apples with 3 table spoons of peanut butter in a dip cup take a piece grab some peanut goodness and bobs your uncle also very budget conscious

sierrrd Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I do 25k in and 25k out three times a week. I got back on a bicycle for commuting and cross training mainly, was quite traumatized from having to cycle five times a week to school in a Dutch sea climate. I'd still rather run, but I'm loving it. Typical weekday: Wake-up: Bowl of oats with one tablespoon of coconut oil, one spoon of mixed seeds (lin, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame and chia), one teaspoon of raw honey and a banana. Arriving at work: Latte machiatto or two, an artisan roll with butter and cheese. 10-12: Two more rolls with butter and cheese. 13: Two oranges today.14-15: Either left-overs from supper, or today a can of baked beans and an avo. 16: Cycling home. Arriving home: Some chocolate, perhaps a handful of raisins. Anything to keep munchies at bay till supper. When doing a run, I might stop somewhere for a chocolate milk. Supper is always home cooked, preferably greens and protein. And I can't finish the day without a bowl of double cream yoghurt and honey. Consistency works for me.
