About this episode
Are you sick of sucking back gels and sports drink all the time? Are you looking for more real food options to use during exercise? Over the years, I’ve definitely seen a movement away from commercial sports nutrition products to more real foods on the bike. But what types of foods are going to help your performance? In this episode I walk you through: When is the best time to use real foods in training? What types of real foods are good for on the bike? What types of foods should you avoid on the bike? Where to find recipes to make your own bike fuel Get your copy of my Fuel Your Adventure recipe book which includes evidenced-based, real food ideas that give you a good hit of carbohydrates, electrolytes and even protein. These recipes still provide enough fuel for what you need but the advantage of lots of other nutrients as well. I’ve even included some savoury options for those who just can’t stomach any more sweet. LINKS: Join me LIVE on Coffee & Questions.
