without wings you forgot nutrtion!

anyway, because the cycilist is an endurance athlete, carbs are the most important, making up about 55-65 % of diet. but also it nmust be stressed the it should be a balanced diet, not just carbs. fat should be included, but only minimal, and protein is essential for recovery. oh and also dont forget fruit and veg.
