How much kcal / calories / day do you consume

[ASTANA]

 

where do you get the calorie content info? would like to calculate mine aswell

 

Its on nearly all food packaging. Fruit and other things you can find on the web' date=' just search for "caloric value of food groups".

 

I would seriously recommend the R600-800 buck visit to a nutritionist who has a good track record with athletes (preferably professional athletes) as they will give you a diet that is actually suited to sports people.

 

Most nutritionisits outside of the sporting arena have very little "begrip" as to just how much an athlete on a better than average level needs to eat. They just look at your weight, apply a sliding scale and print out a generic diet.

 

My last one gave me the exact same meal plan she gave to my mother who is unfortunately not well as she has sever arthritis. I ate as much as she did and would have lost 3kg per week on her diet. Let's just say I received my money back within one day of getting my diet even after I had given her my powertap kCal values for the past 3 months. I didn't even eat enough to do my rides.

do you know of a good nutritionist in Stellenbosch area.

 

Marilette Malherbe, 082 954 3024. She is brilliant and works with a number of Pros from all different sports. She rides herself. Tell her Doug said to give her a call and she will sort you out with a great cycling program. She really makes it specific to you. It is not generic at all.

 

Doug - what does she ask again ? 800 ?

 

She is really good. Working from her program, but think I need to upgrade/change again.

 

Couldn't remember her name

 

thanx

This is what a good mealplan did for me. Helped wonders with climbing, but not for decending.

Thats why one should be right in the middle. Good climber but still enough to power away after the climb so the bunch don't catch your break on the decent and flats.

 

Everyone can see when they are fat and when they look healthy and lean. Weight is a by product. Some people cant do much about that because they are 1.95 tall etc.

 

Its all about how lean you feel and look.

 

That you in the pic ?

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3">Snack: Yogurt + nuts + apple + whey protein = 1200kj

 

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3">Lunch: Veggies + salad + fruit = 1700kj

 

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3">Snack: rusk + fruit + nuts = 900kj

 

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3">Post exercise snack: 1000kj

 

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3">Supper: Veggies + chicken/beef = 1800kj

 

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><font face="Arial" size="3">Snack: Rusk + leftover supper = 700kj
