As a runner and biker, my advice would be not to serve it during the activity,
but it should be fine to serve afterward.  You wouldn't want to go back onto
the field (or the road or the trail) with that in your stomach, but the sweet
and fat slide down quite nicely when you're cooling down and looking to replace
some calories quickly.  And you won't be bouncing around and contracting muscles
in your abdomen and stuff, so it shouldn't hurt anything.  It sounds like exactly
what I crave after a hard bout of exercising!  After my last 14 mile hike, I
inhaled a plate of onion rings...  :)  

Fat... mmmm... I don't exercise to stay thin (which I'm not,)  I exercise so
I can eat like that without dying of heart disease at the age of 30...
