My theory on food is simply to eat what tastes good and what I feel good on. Here are a few meal examples and how I made them: (also, be warned, I'm not a huge recipe follower, but give it a try before you discard the combos ;) Breakfast (aka what I look forward at all times)Avocado Egg Miracle: This avocado has an egg cooked into it! -Preheat oven to ~400 -Half avocado, remove pit, cut a small flat piece off the back so it sits flat without tipping, scoop out an about 1/4 cup of avocado for the egg to fit and not overflow -Crack egg into avocado, its okay to not use all the white here -Add salt and pepper -Place in oven for ~15 minutes or until egg turns slightly golden on the edges -Add salsa or hot sauce for the last few minutes of cooking -Add more salsa (always), chives, put on a bed of greens (can be lightly cooked), rice, or beans Say hello to healthy avocado fats, protein from the egg, and loads of good stuff from the veggies! Post ride Breakfast: On early rides I'll eat a piece of toast, then come home and make real breakfast :) -Throw everything Magic Bullet or blender
-This is super food-faddy, lots of "super foods" but ITS SO GOOD AND SO FILLING. This is an awesome recovery breakfast meal -Cereal But Better I try to eat a few servings of either fruit or vegetable in the morning, this not only makes boring rice chex tastier, but starts the day off with real fruity nutrients! -Heat pan on medium/high heat, add teaspoon of coconut oil -Cut banana lengthwise, leaving a flat surface on at least one side -Add to pan, sprinkle with cinnamon -Cook until underside is golden brown, flip, cook until both sides are golden -Add to the top of a cereal bowl, top with blueberries or other fruit, and yummay! ( I use simple cereals such as Multigrain Cheerios or Rice Chex, usually a combination of the two, and almond milk) Lunch mhmmmButternut Squash & Tofu Overfilled Taco More of an eat-the-pile-of-food-with-a-fork, rather than a taco, but the intention was there. -Heat up a pan with coconut oil (I always use my huge cast iron pan) -Chop butternut squash into cubes, add to pan -Chop tofu, pat pieces dry with a paper towel to eliminate liquid, add to pan, add hot sauce/salt/pepper/any other spices you please -Let squash and tofu cook for a few minutes -Add chopped red pepper, and onions -In the last few minutes, add kale -Heat up tortilla in a second pan, I use Stacey's Whole Wheat Tortillas -Pile together and dig in! Avo Toast Turned into a Meal -Toss whole wheat bread in the toaster -Heat up a pan with coconut oil, add black beans, and onion -Toss on hot sauce (I love Trader Joes Green Dragon Sauce) -Toss in kale -Cut up avocado on toast, add salt/pepper/olive oil -Add beans/onions/kale to the plate -This would also work on rice instead of toast! Kale Salad and Cuties -pile in kale, avocado, toasted sunflower seeds, and cuties on top! -my favorite dressing to add to this is Annie's Goddess or Annie's Shiitake Mushroom Salad go to tip #1: No salad can go wrong if you add a fruit, a cheese, and a nut to it! (aka I need a cheese here) DinnerTechnically more breakfast-like but I'll take it: -warm up a big pan, add one egg, add kale and onion next to the egg -Heat up a corn tortilla (pan or microwave) -Heat up refried black beans (usually canned) -When egg is cooked as you please, and kale is slightly crispy, pile beans, egg, and veggies on top of tortilla, add avocado, and hot sauce Pre-Race Dinner -Chop vegetables, I used red pepper, broccoli, onion, sweet potatoes, and carrots -Chop tofu, when tofu is cubed, dry off lightly with a paper towel -Start cooking rice, I used Forbidden Black Rice, its delicious -Add tofu to hot pan, add soy sauce, hot sauce, and 1/4 jar of curry, I used Madras Curry, -Cook until tofu is golden brown, remove tofu and set aside -Cook sweet potatoes, after ~two minutes, add onion carrots, and broccoli, after ~two minutes add red pepper, after ~four minutes add the rest of the curry sauce -Mix in tofu, let cook for a few minutes -Combine for a great combination of protein, carbs, and veggies! -(This fed four of us for dinner) And after races I eat whatever's in sight.. Here I had a PB&J with Oreos inside
