Anyhow- for me:
Pre ride (>40miles)= Porridge, banana, peanut butter, slice of toast, minimum 1.5 hrs prior to start.
Rides <60 miles/ races= 1 or 2 gels or 1 energy flapjack/rice cake thingy (EFRCT)- usually homemade (less sugar).
60-100 miles= 1 banana, 1 or 2 EFERCT, emergency gel.
100miles= all the food, ever, and lots of savoury options.
Post long ride/ post race= Diet protein shake (the one that is meal replacement) + banana + peanut butter.
Then asap meal with rice and chicken or tuna.
Works pretty well, minimises cost, minimises 'science' foodstuff.
