Ask a Pro: What do you eat?
Dear Phil, What are some of your favorite foods to eat? What do you typically eat per day when you are in full training? What about on the bike? Thanks!

Hi Susan,
I'm pretty simple (some might say lazy) with my diet. Generally, every week, I make a box of pasta, a box of oatmeal, and a couple pounds of rice. For each meal, I reheat a portion of those, adding a protein source (eggs, tempeh, or chicken). For one meal each day, I make a giant salad, with half a bag of lettuce, with tempeh, flax seed, and chia seeds. I have one or two chocolate cookies every night (religiously), with milk.
On the bike, I eat once an hour, usually some sort of bar, but sometimes I'll make a sandwich and cut it into quarters. If it's a hard ride, I'll drink something sugary. For an easy ride, just water on Nuun (a low calorie electrolye replacement).
