For rides under one hour, when cycling at a moderate intensity, do I need to refuel to replenish glycogen stores and get some protein into me.
Heres the thing, I dont mind refueling, but I want to reduce my waist so I dont want to put on weight. Im also only active once a day during exercise, thats it.
I was riding only 10 km , 30 minute rides but iv just stepped it up to 15-17 km and that takes me 46-50 minutes.
My question is, for rides under an hour do I need to refuel after a bike ride considering i ride at a moderate intensity (i.e noticable increased heart rate).
If so, how many carbs to you suggest I eat?
Iv started having 2 slices of white bread with jam. Its high GI so as far as I know I think im onto a good thing. I think im getting about 35 grams of carbs not including the jam.
What do you think?
