Interesting that you should ask. I ride the Seagull Century bike ride (100 miles, 6.5 hours) a couple of weekends ago. I wanted to make sure that I was in ketosis for the ride and kept my carbs at or below 20g for an entire month beforehand.
The morning of the ride I had 4 whole scrambled eggs and about 5 oz. of home made sausage. During the ride I ate homemade PEMMICAN! If you haven't heard of it, pemmican is dried pulverized beef mixed 50/50 with beef tallow. I added a few spices to make it palatable.
Despite 93 deg. heat, I finished strong and never got hungry or cramped. I've been told that endurance athletes perform in a state of ketosis, allowing them to go longer without refueling.
