I'm trying to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and to season them with fresh herbs--especially when I'm riding.
When I was younger, I used to feel as if I could eat or drink damn near anything during and after a long ride. Truth was, I could: I am still amazed at how often I ate rich, fatty foods, how much pasta and bread I scarfed down and how unhealthy some of what I ate was (PopTarts, anyone?) yet lost--or, at least, didn't gain--weight.
But I'm going to be good--or, at least, try to do better. I'm going to pack fruit and nuts in my Brevet bag if I'm doing rides of more than a couple of hours, and one or the other if I'm going to be out for a shorter ride.
If I want fresh herbs or wheat grass to go with my other snacks, I could always grow them:
Hmm... Mini-planters on a bicycle? What will they think of next?
