What the Latest Nutrition Research means for Cyclists
Andrew Giniat
You are Ferrari and carbohydrates are your fuel. But the body does not work like a Ferrari in terms of going fast even as they tank empties. Athletes do better when their tanks are kept at full as possible at all times. This includes before, during and after exercise.
Learn from Coach Andrew and Nutritionist Alex Winnicki what the latest nutrition research says about your cycling training and performance especially HIGH carbohydrate nutritional strategies for your cycling performance.
They talk about how much carbohydrate you need to consume even if you are trying to lose weight. And why low carb diets and nutritional strategies are bad for you.
So eat up all you athletes out there training to ride faster! That's 689 grams of carb for a 160lb cyclist. Which is WAY more than you are probably consuming. Do you sometimes feel like 💩 on the bike, fatigued more than you should be, having trouble making the watts?
Not eating enough carbs is WHY. Its a simple FIX: consume more carbohydrate to achieve more physiological adaptations, train better and make more watts. Aka improve more.
A high carbohydrate diet is also what we call "Winning in the Kitchen" - check out our two winning in the kitchen meal plans in the CoachCat app. We give you specific meal-by-meal, breakfast, lunch and dinner + snacks instructions for what to eat.
