There are four nutrition periods for a cyclist when planning their cycling nutrition. These four periods include training, pre-race, post-race and non-race. You will only need to be concerned with fluids and calories for competition and training over an hour. If you compete in an ultra-distance event, you must also concern yourself with electrolytes.

Ok, I just came upon this which would be perfect fodder for Fatty humor, except for the fact that its real. I wonder if my cage would handle a 750ml bottle?

Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie — the poor man’s power bar.

Those sport bars and junk are nice, but who prices them? Niemann Marcus??? Sport Jelly beans are a buck a pack for like twenty. The cost of driving a bike per mile using sports candy is more expensive tan driving a hummer.

Before stumbling onto these concentrated bombs of energy I would make up a bag full of regular jelly beans, jelly babies and some nuts. This way I had something to break that sweetness and the salt helped with cramps

Sports this-n-that, yadda yadda yadda. All those things are overpriced and taste worse.

Nothing beats a Snickers and Donut Gems on a long ride!

Currently riding daily loops on a small “island” along coast of South Carolina. It’s hot. It’s humid. You sweat bucketfuls. Your sweat tastes like seawater. Combine that with nightly beer drinking, and dehydration is a worry.

Between 15 mile loops, I hit the mini mart for gatorade and salty snacks to keep the engine in balance.

Ah, but which salty snack? So I check all the snickers, powerbars, etc., etc., and I’m disappointed about their relatively scant amount of sodium and potassium. But they’re all about the sugar, no doubt.

I buy a something-or-other protein and alchemy special and a half hour later I’m still chewing the thing. I toss it and get back to my loops.

Next day I snoop around a little more broadly and find – far afield from the performance foods – and find EXACTLY what I’m looking for. The ultimate fuel, and it’s from a highly scientific company named, uh, Little Debbie.

Yeah, it’s the double-decker oatmeal cookie sandwich. It has 25% of the carbs an adult needs in a day, about as much fat (thankfully all saturated/no trans fats) as a Quarter Pounder, and about 18% of your sodium requirements — which is a lot more than you get from a bottle of gatorade.

And it’s all brought to you by an adorable little redheaded girl.

Ooh. ugh. i switched from a fancy-pants sport drink to regular old gatorade on a recent fast trail ride and almost puked from the sugar. Y’all must have iron stomachs!

I’ve had similar thoughts on powergel and gu and why not just fill those little packets with frosting? It’s all sugar either way. Both frosting and powergels make my teeth hurt from all the sugar. Pillsbury already makes about a dozen flavors. Time for them to put them in individual easy open packets!

I think the chocolate cream cheese would be a big seller.
