Hi Peg! So what should I eat before jumping on my bike? Lets say before a one hour work out.

Hi Herb, Good question. Before you exercise, it's important to consume foods or beverages that are really easy to digest (little to no fat, or fiber) such as carbohydrates as 30 - 60 grams in the hour before.
Examples are: a bottle of regular gatorade, a slice of white toast with a Tablespoon of jelly or honey, a sports gel, 8 oz of juice, 1/2 deli bagel with jelly or honey...If you want to eat a larger meal with fat and protein, it should be consumed 2 - 4 hours prior or it will be sitting in your stomach during the hour-long workout.
What's more important, is how you eat on a day to day basis, what you consume during workouts lasting more than 1 hour and ...... post workout out recovery foods. We'll talk later, Peg,
