High protein diet for a cyclist,mmmmmmmmm, not a chance it will hamper performance. Agree with the previous posts on digestibility and lets face it, carbs are the source of our fuel, you want to feel energetic and keep the body fat low. Stick to complex carbs, and lean protein, get ride of the nonsense, its easy to stick to and it will get you performing better. To the reader who mentioned Dr Delport, I actually disagree with her nutrition for sport, I think its too old school, we have advanced a lot. How can you not even mention quinoa as a carb, it rocks the planet man :-) , highest protein complex carb and it never even got a mention in her book.

Last year November I was doing a TT in the south towards the steps, beautiful day, enjoying the ride and some bastard came out of the bushes hit me over the head with a beer bottle and stabbed me in my shoulder while placing is front foot and my wheel and sending me hurtling over the handle bars at close to 37km/h these idiots are bloody stupid never expected that, I lay on the ground in a lot of pain and when I glanced up I saw this young bastard reaching over to pick up my bike and run away with it. I never expected it, or really knew what to do, but the adrenalin sent a rage through my entire body, and I ran after him, eventually hitting and kicking him until it was going nowhere, i threatened him with a gun i never had an he ran, i could not run after him. What the hell was the guy thinking anyway, running away with a TT on his back how far would he have got. I am lucky to be alive, it could have been worse, bottom line, i ride with a group, and carry a taser the will send anyone of these bastards 150kV and remove his teeth in the process. I am sure there is a syndicate out there, these guys know what bikes to look for, and they do get rid of them. The police are a total waste of time here. Maybe we should do a ride against bike crime, all 150000 cyclists across the country and raid the union buildings in Pretoria ;-)
