Then, when I get in to the office I'll have a banana and some raw almonds.</p> <p>And, you're right toddtyrtle, coffee isn't the best in the morning, <a href="http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=348">here's proof</a>. But I still love my coffee, more so for the smell than anything else. </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=356#post-1171 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:10:12 +0000 joe 1171@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>Haha. Don't admire me too much... I sleep as long as I can in the mornings and then ride in... so I won't be late... but I start pretty early (sometimes 8 am, sometimes 7:30), so my hunger instincts don't really kick in until I'm downtown. :) </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=356#post-1170 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:59:24 +0000 toddtyrtle 1170@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>Oh, and I might also add that I find that though I'm very fond of it, coffee is one of the worst things I can have before riding. Not only does it knock my blood sugar down fairly soon after I drink it, more than a cup or two a day *definitely* impacts my aerobic capacity and I feel like I have maxed out long before I really have. I suspect that the caffeine at that point has increased my pulse and thus decreased the difference between resting and maximum rate. But I'm not a Dr. so that's just speculation.</p> <p>I admire you, Joe, I have a hard time getting out of the house in less than 2 hours. When I am working outside the home I often wake up extra early just to take that into account. </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=356#post-1168 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:54:00 +0000 joe 1168@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>Other great sources of quick protein is yogurt or a handful of almonds.</p> <p>Most mornings I'm usually on my bike to work soon after I wake up, so I usually don't have breakfast until I'm downtown and at work. But, yogurt and almonds is a great way to have a nutritious filling breakfast, that'll give you energy for a while. :) </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=356#post-1165 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 07:35:12 +0000 toddtyrtle 1165@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>I agree with crazycga - eggs are good (though I can't abide by hard boiled). My usual for its speed was a bagel (high on carbs) and peanut butter (high on protein) and then possibly a piece of fruit. Still, depending on how far my client was I might need another snack when I arrived so it doesn't hurt to pack something also. </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=356#post-1163 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 23:53:25 +0000 crazycga 1163@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>I personally find that two hard boiled eggs are good. Protein = good thing. And you can make them the night before. Which reminds me, I forgot to make mine! &gt;:( </p> http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/topic.php?id=356#post-1162 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:35:02 +0000 twowheelsarebetterthannone 1162@http://bikingtoronto.com/forum/ <p>I'm trying to figure out what are good things to eat in the morning when your time between waking and biking is limited. I figure some protein is good but the key is carbs? Some peanut butter and toast with fruit sounds like a good mix. I tend to take a second small breakfast to eat while I walk into work because I burn through food like crazy anyways. </p>
