What should I eat not only on days I am going riding, but regular work days? I know what t eat pre-ride, during ride, and post-ride. But what about those days when I don't ride?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Completely agree. If you have some bad cheat days, detox.elvisish said:Just try and stick to good meals and healthy snacks. Plenty of carbs and protein, vegetable proteins mainly and good wholesome carbs from vegetables and whole grains. And as for snacks, things like salads, fruit and even dark chocolate for energy. Plenty of water and even homemade fruit/vegetable smoothies if you get chance, recipes for these can be find online. If you do have bad days, just be good and detox the next few days to make up for it!
I fully agree - depending on what you are. But what you are, really? I don't think that's easy to answer. And as I said in my previous post, you eat your regular meals when you are not on training although it's not wrong to add some more nutrients if you wish to. When I am riding, I would always drink milk as a mental food (my psychology says milk gives me strength). And yes, the rest is very important and if you care to be whimsical, get a good massage too.DarkStarling said:The question of what you should eat, has to put into the context of the person you are. What are your goals, do you wish to lose weight, to just stay healthy, or to become a better cyclist? I would just eat healthy food and emphasize getting a good ratio of proteins, enough carbs so that you can recover all your energy, and, additionally, just a good nights rest whilst remaining on the good side, rather than the bad side of fats.
