When it comes to endurance cycling, the race what you eat. The time of your diet and make intelligent decisions about what you eat in the food you eat before a long trip or race can have a big impact on how to carry out. When it comes to endurance races plus 4 hours, often is the gas tank is not the driving limit performance. What you eat before the event will be the effect of their performance significantly. It is a combination of calories of energy and how the body absorbs what makes the difference.
A Part of what makes a cycling resistance is a good capacity to utilize fat for fuel. If you can get a 10-15% of calories from stored fat, it's a lot of muscle glycogen (carbohydrates) that are able to spare for future use in the wrinkle. What you eat before driving can significantly affect the number of calories from fat. Studies have shown an association between consumption of fiber / low glycemic index food three hours before exercise the subjects that cause double the fat burning of the group who ate a high glycemic index meal before exercise.
fiber moderates the absorption of carbohydrates decreases insulin response. When insulin is in place, you can not access the stored body fat as fuel during exercise, forcing the body to depend on carbohydrates that can store both. All calories you can get in: calories fat carbohydrate are still in reserve.
How can it be that simple?
Make sure the pre-meal travel 300 to 500 calories is high in fiber (5.8 grams) and complex carbohydrates with lipids rich in protein. You will see that it lets you go without running out of fuel. Add to that the bike nutrition plan that allows you to 200-300 calories per hour of digestible carbohydrate is the recipe for successful resistance.
Sample meals:
- whole wheat bagel with natural peanut butter and an apple
- Bowl of muesli with skimmed milk, a two slices of bread with natural peanut butter flax
- Rice and beans with a banana (not mixed together, unless you're at it)
