You don't need loads of protein as a cyclist. Natural levels are fine. Straight away get some good fast carbs to replenish, from a natural source. Then a bit later, some good quality natural protein and some slower releasing carbs.
What are natural levels though?
I'm a hippy so would just get a few beans and yoghurt unless I made an effort. Other people eat a steak for lunch.
Sky apparently get 250g a day. Which is a lot.

When I get back from a ride, depending on the ride more of less food.
A smoothie of greek yog, bananas, apple, pears, milk. All you need. More banana for more carb or substitute high gi fruits as you wish.
Then shower and stretch then come back 30min later and eat a meal.
Eggs, rice, with a veg/fruit nutribullet. So carrots, spinich, kale, broccoli, seeds.
