No, I just don´t need them anymore. I rather eat a piece of dried meat, ala jerky and a piece of fruit, or after a heavy bike training or race, I mix amino acid powder with apple sauce. I have no regeneration problems to train 5 days a week climbing.</div>
It seems like your protein choices are very lean, offsetting the fats ('good' though they may be) from the nuts. Is this deliberate (do you avoid sat fat from animal sources?).
I'll phrase my other question this way; if you aren't biking, and engaging in more resistance exercise, what macro-nutrient ratio's do you strive for?
I'm trying to imagine a bulk composed of those food groups. If it were 15% fat, 25% protein, 60% carbs, that'd be a helluva lot of green beans and bananas
Though I don't see any reason that wouldn't work just fine. Might get expensive though. Never realizedf how cheap grain based calories are!</div>
I try not to eat too much animal fat purely for the reason that it is the fat of cultivated animals were all the pesticides & chemicals get stored. I spend a lot of time in Italy and I buy meats from local hunters, in this case I eat it all.
I don´t eat beans.
In general, I try to eat lean meats so that I can snack throughout the day on nuts and thus keep my calories in check. I am addicted to pistachios and walnuts.
I try to maintain my macronutrient ratio regardless of how I am training: 50%, 30%, 20% F
:C
Only on bike days do I eat a bunch of extra carbs before, during and directly after.
And honestly, I don´t even count these carbs as they get used up on the same day.
After a Race, I eat until I am no longer hungry. After he last race, which lasted about 5 hours and I burned 6550 calories , I ate a 300 gram steak, about 500 grams of Rucola/Radicchio/Onion/Tomato Salad, a bunch of steamed veggies, 3 scoops of Ice cream and 500ml non-alcoholic Weizenbier. The next day I was still 0.5 kg lighter was still able to train 50km on the bike with little residual race pain.
If this was a golf match, I would have had to eat much more afterwards and I would not be able to golf the next day.</div>
Interesting macros. You mentioned bulking once. I'm assuming you did it with those ratios? Thats some real food for thought. I've been under the impression that you'd want more carbohydrate and more provoking of insulin on a bulk, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
50% fat! From a guy in your shape that is inspiring as well as thought provoking. Maybe I should go to McDonalds (j/k
).
In your opinion, which seems to differ from standard keto preach, whats the advantage of having fat set so high and carbs set so low?</div>
I train for endurance, thus my body burns more fat efficiently and at higher heart rate levels. This avoids the bonking associated with such events which is the results of a depletion of glycogen stores. In other words, I have to operate at or above my maximum heart rate for a longer period of time before my glycogen stores are depleted. This means I train to produce more power, over a longer period of time and at a lower heart rate.
I eat alot of fat to keep my appetite down, keep my blood level stable and keep my body primed to utilize fat for energy. When I am not training and my heart rate is around 50 bpm during the day my body is bruning fat and has little need for much carbs. A few apples and the carbs from nuts keep my brain happy.
My resting heart rate during the bike season in the morning is around 40 when I wake up and during the day just working, reading and running around the lab is between 50 and 60 bpm), t
The keto approached as pushed by pudgy golfer, works well for sedentary overweight/obese people. It does not apply so well for athletes. Athletes need carbohydrates whether they are sprinters, marathoners or weight-lifters.
One of the more disturbing quotes from golf boy was that glucose is toxic. during starvation and ketosis, the liver will produce about 200g of glucose for the brain and other ogans from protein and fat.
