Neat trick, eh?

Lately, I've been focusing more on eating B.D.A. (before, during, and after training). It should be obvious that if you're going to eat a restricted number of calories that it would be best if they were consumed around exercise time. What doesn't work is pigging out in the morning and early afternoon, then getting hungry before riding followed by not eating while riding and not eating after the ride.

Yesterday, I thought about how it'd be nice if lunch was ready to eat just minutes after finishing my ride. Yesterday's lunch would have taken about 25 min to cook, pushing the limits of the 30 min post-workout refueling window. I thought it would've been great if my convection oven could start cooking at a designated time. It was a long shot but I checked the manual and discovered that this oven that I've had for several years did indeed have an auto start feature. So after a particularly hard ride (4x20 at 300W), I didn't have to prepare a recovery drink or eat junk food (my other recovery food).
