I am looking for specific ideas on what kinds of "healthy" foods (in my medical situation, that might be, e.g., whole grains and fruits) that I can consume before I do a hard 50-mile ride, and, more important, similar healthy, portable foods I can carry and eat very frequently during those rides. Thanks.
NOT knowing about your
bold statement situation, I am just another soon to be a 71yo guy with some issues including
PCa (
Prostate
Cancer) who throws the
healthy foods requirements out the window when a serious ride is done.
Some good advice has been given.
GOOD LUCK!!!
