I said is it possible not to eat a whole pack in one sitting

... obviously from your response you're able to restrain yourself... half a pack is simply not an option to me - I have to restrain myself from buying them in the first place otherwise they're gone by the end of the same day

If memory serves there were things like eggs, venison, apples, mackerel, strawberries, prawns, spinach (that's 7 out of 10!). No mention of chocolate. I did a long triathlon in france in Sept, and there was chocolate at the feed stations late in the bike and right thru the run. Awesome, but it motivated me to stay at the feed station rather than getting on with the running.

Could be amusing watching someone trying to put a whole packet in

Sounds like a challenge to me! I reckon I could fit 5 in... maybe 6? Not sure I could actually eat them though, my mouth would be locked open

Well sounds like you need to challenge yourself to try richard

Mini ones could be a better option, but i find them not as nice

Did a full pack (12 cakes) in about 5 minutes this morning!

I would definitely include porridge (or at least muesli) in the list.

Porridge is good as it is also made with milk, so you get some proteins with your slow release carbs. I fail to fuel myself properly though. My work canteen serves porridge which I was eating with honey, until a week ago, when they got a new chef, and the porridge was foul. Maybe it will improve again. But so far today (at home), all I have eaten is a bowl of porridge (about 60g of oats and half a pint of milk). Time for lunch, then some weight training. I'll run tomorrow, hopefully the rain will stop soon!

How long after eating (porridge, for example), should you go for a run to get maximum benefit? I've heard some people say that it is the meals you eat the day before a long run that are more important in determining performance. Does anyone know the real science behind this? I usually go for a run 30-45 mins after eating breakfast.
