83. Are you guilty of these 5 Cycling Nutrition Myths?

 

In this episode, we explore five common nutrition myths that hinder performance and weight management, such as thinking you can eat whatever you want because you're riding so much, not fueling during training to save calories for later, and the misconceptions about easy training sessions not needing fuel. I emphasise the importance of a smart fueling strategy and how it can be a game changer for both amateurs and elite cyclists. Join me as I challenge prevailing myths and offer practical advice on how to optimize your nutrition for lasting improvements in body composition and cycling performance. If you're ready to rethink your nutrition strategy, let's fuel up together!
