Nutrition.

So nutrition is just as important as training. I have a very hard time following that. Does anyone know of a health nutritionist for the off season? and any advice will be good for the rest of the season.

Norm,

Nutrition is about habit. So I suggest starting small by changing a few things and then working your way into it. (i.e. don't quickly alter your diet as that can affect your training. Mostly I'm talking about caloric intake) A good start would simply be to add a little more vegetables and fruit to your diet. And choose whole grains a little more often. It's so simple, but very key, especially if you can't affort expensive supplements.

I just go to bed hungry in the off-season. I lose a few lbs, but gain it back in the spring when I'm concerned about energy levels. Actually, it's because I couldn't resist peanuts before bed. :p

Dose of reality: 1 lb of fat = 3500 kcal. To lose 1 lb/week you must consume 500 kcal less per day than you burn. Ouch! Extra 1 hr of tempo (per day) on the trainer should do it.

Coach Turbo's nutritional advice:

Eat lots while you are riding.

Drink chocalate milk when you're done.

Don't do anything extreme like Fox.

Don't drink soda.

Nutrition is sooo over rated! It's really simple just follow this...eat a lot, vary the fat and processed food groups, limit all fruits and vegetables and most of all remember to to pre-load before a race (custard donuts should do) and consume recovery nutrients high in cholesterol immediately after... This should put you over the top...
