If your grandmother would not recognize something as food, then do not eat it.

But then again, sometimes I'm lazy and I don't have time to make a meal. Frozen dumplings often do the trick. But what about nutrition on the go? I've posted about Gu Energy Gel, which looks an awful like Go-Gurt. Gu is my go-to nutrition supplement during a long work-out. Gu gels come with me to all of my races and are usually taken during transition.
For pre- and post-workout, if I know I am not going to eat for a while or if there just isn't enough time for a full meal and I just need something to get me through another few hours, I like Kashi Go Lean Crunchy Bars
for lighter fare and Clif Bar Energy Bars
for something a little denser.
Of course all of that being said, I've known a few friends make home-made clif bars which are certainly healthier. Real food will always be better than these pre-packaged bars, but they're good enough for me!
August 8 Update: Apparently Go-Gurt is still being made. Just saw a coupon for it in the latest Costco mailer! Impeccable timing.
