Definitely been guilty of a few of these in the past... Any tips on good high carb, low fat foods that can be found out on the road? Petrol stations, village shops etc? Thinking for multi day and ultra racing when options are limited to what you can find. A whole video on ultra racing nutrition would be super interesting (to me at least) What to eat during and at the end of days for best recovery for the next. Love the channel btw. keep up the good work!
Great question Greg! Obviously fruit is always a solid option, if milk doesn't cause an adverse effect then chocolate milk or something will provide protein and fast carbs on big day. Something I used to do on multi-day 150mile days. Certain cereal bars (Fig Rolls are decent), obviously some sweets but don't like to advocate them too much but are good in a bind, Soreen. A combo hit of a small flavoured milk (330ml) , piece of fruit (banana) and a small sweet (wine gums) will provide ~100g carbs, some protein, minimal fat, some hydration and a little bit of micro-nutrients. Will defintiely do an ultra video
@@WillGirling Nice! Thanks for the detailed and quick reply. I've tried flavoured milk a few times after seeing some of your advice in the past and it definitely works. And has the benefit of being drinkable when you're sick of eating too. Look forward to the ultra video 👍
Great video Will, the content is bang on. Been putting your advice to the test and the rewards are great. Feeling less fatigued, recovering faster and able to get on with other life tasks with great success. At 46 I'm doing great bro...thanks again.
looking forward to the ultra endurance video you talked about in comments. I appreciate your content Will, straight to the point, fact-based, no bullshit. thank you, cheers
Thanks Will. Never considered fat and always just focused on carbs. Usually use cold pressed fruit and nut bars on most rides and will pay more attention to the fat content now! Thanks again. Enjoying the videos.
Ahh yeah so easy to focus on the carbs and see that fat creep up massively. Not bad to have 1 maybe 2 of the nut based ones as they are nuts after all and good for us but they will slow digestion (potentially affecting perforance), add calories and fat to our total daily intake. Glad it helped though Russell
Another great video. Rule 4 is a big one. Greg’s comment reflects my own thoughts and your response is very helpful. Might be worth a video on its own.?
The term palate fatigue always cracks me up. I've just found your channel and really enjoy the sub 10 min videos. One comment about editing, I always feel you let the music run a bit too long between segments as it covers up the first few words you say. Also, it would be great to do vitamin specific videos. As someone who had a vitamin D deficiency, I was very grateful to my nutritionist who looked at what I was eating and mentioned that I get it tested and sure enough........
Thanks for enjoying bud and always looking to improve so thanks for the note. Yeah Vitmain D is a good one and could deifnitely talk about some common vitamin, mineral deficieny videos
Check out Will’s website for his endurance bar recipe, super easy to make and very tasty, a lot cheaper than buying bars and you know what is in it! Can keep in the freezer until you need it so you’re not tempted to eat it as a snack - works for me!
As Louise mentioned definitely try checking that out - Protein wise I pretty much just use HealthSpan Elite Whey Isolate as its batch tested (exactly what is say on the tin)- the emulsifier they use isnt soy based which can cause Gi distress. Ideal Energy bars are tough I mean if it's just one then most are fine if good quality - things like Lucho-Dillitos is just fruit and a solid option
HAHA it's possible - the paper "Paper to Podium" by Close et al 2019 or "A Framework for Periodized Nutrition for Athletics" also mentions it possibly. Definitely possibly one of the best one liners in relation to nutrition
Hi there I'm a young 18 year old high level cyclist I am wondering what is my best way to eat on rest day I always struggle with what to eat and what's optimum for my recovery
Hey Hamish! Great question - Getting a few protein based meals in around 3/4 over your day would be recommeneded maybe a couple of snacks like a glass of milk or bowl of greek yougurt and fruit. Aiming to get loads of veggies of a few colours (red onion, butternut squash, bell pepper etc.) and some more berries/ fruit with help with inflammation and aid recovery alongside all that muscle recovering and building protein
@@hamishstrachan7481 just wanted to clarify thats 3 to 4 meals. Glad it helped bud drop back in this thread to let me know how you get on in the future.
Not silly at all Graham and yes. In fact they're more likely too as they're inefficient at cycling and cardio with lower aerobic cells so focusing on just fuelling well and getting through rides would be priority and of course enjoying them

I've somehow inadvertently managed to do all of this. Super reassuring what I'm doing is right. Carbs are king!
HAHA love it! Carbs are definitely king
Great stuff dude!
Glad you liked it!
Yeeeees, do race day nutrition video :) awesome content, thank you :)
Great idea!!! On it!
What energy bars or protein brands would you recommend? Nice video :)

Didn't James Morton come up with the phrase "fuel for the work required"? ;)
Haha exactly my thoughts

Where’s the energy drink video. I’m running low and don’t want to buy any more 😂
HAHA aiming for next week
Silly question
can a fat overweight beginner cyclist (me) still bonk?
