On a long ride, follow your appetite - it will tell you much more accurately than any nutritional plans what you should be eating and drinking. Eat real food little and often - nutritional products are pure marketing, nothing else. The trick is to make sure you have the right range of foods with you, but personally I have never gone wrong with bananas, marmite sandwiches, rice cakes, chocolate and water.
