This is much better!

***** Brown rice is 6% fat - I probably should have replaced oats with corn though :P

***** Where did you hear that? All the information I can find consistently says that oats are 7% fat (of which, only 1% is saturated). Brown rice has lots of nutrients white rice doesn't have and it's only 1% fat when it's cooked.

Simple as that. Thank you.

All together all at once

Not enough protein in this list for us, nor vegetables, but it's certainly not a bad list!

Global Cycling Network I would definitely put vegetables at no.11 or 10. With protein, I get at least 50 grams of protein a day eating these foods, and some days adding some beans and tofu will get me up to 100. Beans and tofu no.12 and 13 perhaps?

Global Cycling Network Also, out of interest, is a pro cyclist's diet typically high in carbohydrates and moderate protein?

Ananda Chu Recently pros have tended to increase the amount of protein in their diets to help with recovery from hard training and racing. They are high in carbs compared to the general population perhaps, but not proportionally to the amount they eat.

Global Cycling Network So is it 65% carbs, 15% protein and 20% fat?

LOL. Dropped my fat intake and increased carbs recently, while on the same training volume. I weigh 140 now, was 150 before. And now is Durianrider able to ride 100-200km/day with pros on super high carb?

Banana Boy To be honest, DR has exceptional genes. I believe he has a hematocrit value over 50, which gives him exceptional capabilities in endurance sports like cycling. In my eyes, this combined with the fact that he is quite fit are the main reasons why he can perform so well for so long. Sure the vegan CTFU diet might have a positive impact, but his body is just build for endurance sports with that high level of red blood cells.

Banana Boy With respect though Banana Boy, you haven't named a pro cyclist yet who advocates this diet, so maybe it doesn't work for all endurance sports?

Banana Boy My thinking behind the suggestion that cycling is different from marathon running is due to the greater variation in exercise intensity in cycling, particularly the repeated anaerobic demands placed on the rider. I think that this does more muscle damage, and therefore requires more protein in the diet. Further more, in the low intensity parts of racing and training, a well trained rider will be burning fat as fuel which keeps precious glycogen stores for later in the race when they really need it. Finally, we can look at what pros are doing for guidance because it's a lucrative business and therefore teams invest sometimes millions of pounds finding the best staff to get the greatest performances from the riders. If a high carb vegan diet really was best for performance, you can be sure these guys would be doing it. Cheers for taking the time to reply to the vid though, that's cool.

Global Cycling Network " If a high carb vegan diet really was best for performance, you can be sure these guys would be doing it. " THANK YOU! I've been saying this for years. I'm sure the cycling industry has spent MILLIONS on team doctors and nutritionists to find the right balance. As much money as teams spend looking for every second of advantage, they would all be consuming this diet if it really were an advantage.

It's called science. Fish usually contains lots of heavy metalls, so "super food" isn't quite the right term to use. If you ingest stuff like dates or rice without any fat you will see a very steady blood sugar, - you can test that by yourself - ad some fiber like from flee seed husks e.g and the energy will even be supplied way steadier. All that then helps to keep your insulin down, which is good for weight loss and prevents and may even cure diabetis. Science, love it.

The vegan "activists" on KZfaq are quite zealot-like and ignorant. I've been vegetarian for well over 20 years and some of the garbage that is spouted by militant vegans is an embarrassment.

ZeusTruth if you are going to Say that then i can say that some of the potasio found in your presious fucking bananas is radioactive

+Heather Barham Fastest to your grave, maybe.

Etienne-Emile Antikatastaseis nobody gives a shit about vegans but vegans

Bacon,eggs n rice!!

Dan's energy drinks😂

Maxz you could find that info online for sure! I think Rich Roll is vegan amongst others. A lot of pro athletes turn vegan these days actually..you have F1's L.Hamilton, not quite sure that anyone from the Tour winners are since they are all not familiar with veganism yet as it is only now becoming mainstream so..guess there will be more vegan athletes in a couple of years or so 😊

Vegan doesn't mean anything it doesnt produce better results, and it's much harder to acquire your range of dietary needs, and you are at much greater risk to developing nutrition deficiencies. it is far easier, and far safer to eat a small variety of foods that include some animal sources to ensure that you do not risk health damage. Any pro athelete that is "vegan" in these sports are doing so with advisory from medical professionals to ensure their risky diet is not risking their health or performance. People who eat some meats, fish, and plants together do not have to do this, and they are at very low risk of ever developing nutrition deficiencies. It is far safer to not be vegan and an athlete.

Safer for the athlete, deadly for the food.

Agree 100%

kwacker45 nice to hear that i'm not alone :)

Thanks Sam.

A lot of people seem to think the F-word here is 'Fish'. 0.o

Nicholas Cory I use to like that TV show. The F Word

In the USA pavements are sidewalks, taps are faucets, trousers are pants and nobody can pronounce Aluminium.

you don't need to eat during a 1 hour ride

The guy didnt mention eating during the ride, Im guessing hes just asking what would be the best thing to eat prior to the 1 hour ride, and ill hazard a guess your covering around 12 miles in that hour, im totally guessing as im no nutritionist but a decent carb meal 1-2 hours BEFORE you ride wouldnt be a bad idea, probably some sort of pasta dish or chicken & rice, then eat some sort of chocolate or flapjack just prior to setting out along with 2 pints of water or isotonic drink. As I said im no nutritionist, there are surely 'better' options than this, but this will definately be helpful and its basically what I do on a daily basis.

Cavendish's favourite

Why not just pinch the top? Easiest way to open a banana.

+Eldon Jake Enerio That's awesome,in the U.K its really expensive fresh or packaged:(

+Rik Knowles we have plenty of coconuts in where I live. That's why it's mostly free.. I even have coconut trees at my backyard!.

+Rik Knowles hehe, we'd get like 6 coconuta for like 1 GBP lol

***** don't forget to Ghost Pepper the Fuck Up! You clearly subscribe to GhostpepperRider

I think so. But, granola bar seems to be drier and harder than flapjack.

Thanks! 100k away from our next landmark.......

Global Cycling Network almost a million now!

with all due respect, but dm II is caused by lipids clogging GLUT 4 receptors in muscles cells. It is not caused by excess carbs(if you can even use excess in that context). do your science pls

Double espresso with some sugar is what you want.

So is a double esspresso for short burst of energy ??

The3EyedMustache Well, no. For "energy" you need carbohydrates or fat, so for a short burst something really sugary like a Coke will have a bigger effect, both caffeine and the really sweet taste will give you a lift. But, the caffeine in an espresso will also give you a lift, but there will be no "energy" with it.

Understood , Thank you whoever answered my Question :) Question aswered

Coffee blended with grass-fed butter. Look up bulletproof coffee.

MusicStuffSome LOL 😂
