Fueling for Endurance workouts
Found this interesting article with lots of helpful tips:

One caveat is that this is written for the unaltered. So, for example, if you malabsorb, you probably need more calories than the formulas show.
Plus, I have read research that shows that there is a performance benefit to consuming some protein after 2 hours of exercise; the article says there is none.
