Cycling Diet Anonymous
I'm looking to start training for a century, and besides actual bike training, what should I be doing? Besides losing weight, I'm trying to get my diet all squared away so that I can train with as efficiently as possible. Any tips would be great.

Instead of eating square meals, if you plan on being on the road/away from home for the majority of the day, instead bring smaller portioned items so you can snack on every 3-4 hours, a good nutrition bar with water usually does the trick for me. Nature Valley tastes unsurprisingly bland, but it boosts me. Plus it's cheap.

Do explain the cycle diet.

Good stuff, well that tells me a bit, but in terms of types of foods, what should I be eating? I imagine healthy carbs, and lots of them. How much protein should I be having? I'm not sure, but I don't imagine the traditional body building diet pertains to it. I'm just not very well spoken on the matter.

when you're doing a lot of physical work (lifting weights, cycling, whatever) you should be getting 1g of protein for every 2.2kg or .45lb of body weight to make sure your muscles are getting fed. once you have that taken care of, try to get lots of healthy carbs (oatz, fruit, etc) and drink a ton of water, at least a gallon/day.

ewpz, got the numbers wrong. just eat 'your weight in pounds' grams protein every day.

Okay, so i do follow that traditional weight training protein rule. Good stuff. I'll try to work on the healthy carbs as well.
