I sit down to eat my breakfast, and opened the youtube to watch something beside it, the first video that the youtube recomended was that, and I'm eating a porrige :D

Does flap jack mean granola bar?

I overdose on veggies sorry

For after a ride...Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator

what happened to the food for cycling playlist

Simple homemade cycling drink for your rides: Fill 1/5th of a bidon Coconut water, A good grind of healthy unbleached (pink/sea-salt), fill the rest of the bidon with filtered water and give it a shake. Whether you are training on fat or on carbohydrates it's a cheap solution.

how old is he ?

post ride recovery drink - Whey protein with Dextrose

Better list : 1 - Cyanide ..... That's it !

Holy... the comment section made me realise how retarded vegans actually are. t. vegetarian.

Why is there so much hate on protein and huge push on high GI food in the comments? Has Freeley or whatever that banana girl's name is sent out a vegan raid group for the two non-vegan food items on this list or something?

That being said, good video overall. I'm all new to road cycling and basically on a late night GCN video binge :D

What sort of snack would be best for rides lasting about an hour, thanks

The music at the end sounds silly! ..I like it! Now I'm off to work. I go on my tricycle.. It's red.

What about taking one of those nitric oxide bodybuilding supplements

Nutrition nerd comment: Arugula is actually higher in performance enhancing, oxygenating nitrates than beetroots and so are most leafy greens, but high impact beet root juice is still pretty potent here's a vid comparing different veggies nitrate ranking: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vegetables-rate-by-nitrate/ I would take out the fish and add lean plant proteins and avocado, and skip the eggs since they have as much Cholesterol as an 8 oz steak and we all know red meats got to go. DId you know you can sautee greens, with onions and garlic and other veggies in water? skip the goopy processed gunk and sautee in water if you're keeping things no oil. GCN YOU ALL ARE LEGENDARY even if I believe some of your nutritional information isn't up to date and disagree with a few choices, I always hold you guys dear and am SO THANKFUL for everything I have learned from you! Thanks for inspiring me to become a better rider and strike a few off my bikeit list :D Cheers!

What about sunflower seeds

Carbs not caffeine. Bananas and water not dehydration.

GO VEGAN

Oatmeal won't give you the sugar spike ......though you mix it with brown sugar ?? Well that's contradicting yourself ain't it

I never had a problem with calories. I'd "only" bike about 90 minutes a day, 6 days/wk. But half of it is uphill and/or against the wind, so it required extreme intensity (as I am a muscular heavy person).
