I commute on my bicycle and do all my errands/running around etc on my bike but it's all flat land. Over spring break I was riding at a higher elevation and it was very hilly. One day I rode 8 mi but of course 1/2 of it was down hill (what a rush flying at 34mph! for someone accustomed to cruising at 10-12 ). The hills were killer (for me) but I did them (for the most part, I made it farther up one than 2 people that were 1/2 my size and 1/2 my weight)

However when I got done my body was screaming at me:

I NEED TO EAT!

It wasn't hypoglycemia (I had that when I was younger and know the symptoms) but a deeper hunger that's hard to describe.

I cooked up a couple of slices of bacon and that satisfied it. Are there any foods that are more beneficial in this situation than others?
