I just ate a pile of fajitas! Mmm..
On club runs i don't take food, there's a cafe stop (i do coffee and cake the english seem to go proper food like beans and toast, etc)
On longer rides I take gels, powerbars, isotonic drink - you know, all that wank that cycling shops stock :) Beats squishing bananas in your jersey pocket..
SWEETS! Those Natural Confectionary Company lollies or their copy here.. Bassetts animal mix/snakes. Your muscles use glucose - eat glucose while exercising.
After rides use a 4:1 carb:protein mix, which can be made yourself out of sports drink and whey protein or you can buy recovery formulas from SIS, etc.
Or, do what I do and just eat everything within 1km radius..
