I cycle so that I can binge on the couch. zero guilt.

[BriceScott-oseq]

Don't forget about your, vitamins, like potassium etc.

[MarkSmithSa]

Fats such as in nuts, avocados and cheese have a lot more energy density than carbohydrates and are essential for endurance cycling. I have ridden almost 15, 000 Km in the past 260 days (currently 70 Km/day) and my calorie consumption is 50% fat, 30% carbs and 20% protein.

[HotDogPasta]

I can’t tell if that’s his face or a Willem DeFoe filter

An interesting factor could be carbs with high quality protein content. Afaik Quinoa and chickpeas got better protein quality (pdcaa) than rice, noodles or bread but still get you carbs.

Can I use honey or syrup for fuel on the bike?

[twig]

im binging protein thank you. remember kids, it only hurts when you stop pedaling

[floreschris]

Terrible bots, nice helpful information

[tizcxvb]

None of the conclusions is based on the actual science though.

[HkFinn]

If you’re a professional or competitive cyclist you need to worry about ‘fuelling with carbohydrates’. Hobbyists definitely do not. Burning fat is one of the benefits of being a leisure cyclist. Don’t cosplay as a pro, it’s not healthy, it’s not fun and for sure not necessary

[ccamire]

Bunking can be avoided by not consuming carbs. You will be healthier and avoid insulin resistance

[CarnivoreDMD]

Cycled 1 1/2 hours in Z2 today! Immediately ate 1/2 pound of fatty steak. No carbs, thanks. 😊

[encerche]

There's endurance athletes and then there's insulin resistant sugar athletes. If your sport includes eating high amounts of processed foods, don't promote it to anyone you care about.

[donwinston]

There is NO REASON to avoid sugar "spikes" unless you are diabetic. Trying to keep your glucose/insulin levels perpetually low is a horseshit notion.

Talk much.
Said nothing new.
