Morning ride was cancelled due to wet conditions, so I guess I’ll do a workout. Brunch is a scramble with spinach, sun dried tomatoes, onions, red peppers, potatoes, eggs and goat cheese.

As my race was over around 2 PM yesterday, I had a recovery drink (with carbs, protein and electrolytes) immediately after and lunch about 1h later. Then strength training around 7:30 PM and a late dinner close to bed time. As such I had the bulk of my daily carbs up until mid-afternoon and focused on more protein and veggies for dinner to help with recovery and better sleep.
Chicken breast, 2 eggs, salad of kale and chickpeas:

This is a thing in Norway so have to share. Eaten after a long ride (3 hours) Its quit fatty so not something I enjoy every day, but once a year. Its called Får-i-kål which means lamb-in-cabbage. Its only lamb and cabbage and whole peppers, cooked for hours after hours, and with potatoes. Its super good, mostly because the cabbage.

Being able to plan and make food with care and thought is a tell tall sign life is getting a little bit better in terms of stress and work load. This is very easy to make; I just baked the veggies in the oven next to a pot with chicken breast. I made enough for 2-3 days lunch (pre ride)

Who said a cup of chickpeas is too much to eat in one sitting? Chickpeas, bok choy, garlic, onions, sweet potatoes and spices. And homemade gf bread. Not made by me.

It was @Marmen21
I call these “no-chose “. Because I can’t have the chips. It’s a sweet potato base with black beans, bok choy, garlic, paprika and cayenne. I put jalapeño on it too and a cassava flour tortilla that was toasted.

Made this for dinner last night with roasted brussels sprouts and carrots, and it was so hearty and cozy! It was way too much food with the veggies and after my post-workout protein shake, but leftovers for lunch today!!

Heads up, today’s the start of the BFS at Picky Bars! I’m obsessed with their bars and the granola for longer rides especially, and (full disclosure) became a Picky Ambadassador for them this year because I was already spreading the good word and wanted to get my own discount for doing so.
30% off everything over at www.pickybars.com
Note: No code or anything needed and I don’t get a kick-back for anyone buying - just wanted to share a good deal.

I would normally eat this dish as a part-workout breakfast option - Savory Oatmeal:
Oatmeal, topped w garlic powder, parmesan cheese
2 overeasy eggs, topped w seasoning
Chopped red peppers (preferable to tomatoes)
Avocado chunks
Arugula (critical, makes the dish)
(I also throw in some ham, if I have it)

Love the veggies you added @hgooge!
I’d want to eat all the Picky bars. I can’t do nuts very often, but they look amazing!

No turkey here. I made a delicious pot roast with all the colored carrots and potatoes. Served with rolls and a pumpkin pie from the local farmers market (not that I can’t make killer rolls and pie but not much time). Josh is still recovering from eye surgery Tuesday to straighten them (2 muscles in the right and 1 in the left). It was delicious after the TTT.

Recovery day lunch: salmon with a little pesto, mashed sweet potatoes, green beans, kale salad. Recovery days are typically heavier on protein and a little lighter in carbs- but because I had a race and strength training yesterday and will have a hard workout plus strength tomorrow, I won’t be lowering carbs much, but will focus on complex, non-refined carbs today.
