Tour de France - Ernæring

[Totti]

Heysan!

Jeg vil gerne have en diskussion op omkring rytternes ernæring i løbet af en dag under le Tour De France. :4mewantfood:

- Hvor mange kcal. indtager rytterne på en normal dag under touren?

- Hvordan er fordelingen af kalorierne(Protein, carbsog fedt)?

- Væskebalancen er vigtig. Og væskeindtaget afhænger nok mest af temperaturen?

Kom med jeres mening vedrørende dette.

Totti som glæder sig til touren

Q:       What kinds of foods does Lance eat in preparation for such a race as the Tour de France? How much and often does he need to eat?

A:     Lance follows a nutrition plan based on the ideas I presented in Chris Carmichael's Food for Fitness in 2004. Basically, we change the amount and balance of foods in his diet according to his progression through different activity levels and training intensities. As his training hours and intensity increase during the spring months, we add calories by increasing his carbohydrate intake. This is important because increased intensity means he's burning more carbohydrate per minute on the bike. The idea is to match his nutrition program to the demands of his training, thereby ensuring he has the fuel he needs for optimal performance, while avoiding excess calories from nutrients he isn't utilizing as heavily. Using this program, we've been able to avoid significant weight gain in the winter, which means weight loss goals don't interfere with his performance training in the spring. As the Tour de France approaches, his nutrition program moves from about 65 percent carbohydrate to 70 percent carbohydrate, and he'll consume about 13-14 percent of his calories from protein, and 16-17 percent from fat. In terms of foods, he loves pasta and also seeks whole grains like brown rice and oats, multigrain breads, and lots of vegetables. Protein sources include primarily eggs, fish, poultry, and low-fat dairy products like yogurt. Fat plays important roles in endurance athletics and health, so we don't massively cut his fat intake. Rather, Lance tries to stick with unsaturated fats from olive and canola oils, seeds, nuts, and fish. Several of recipes Lance likes are featured in my new book, Chris Carmichael's Fitness Cookbook, which hits shelves in July.
