Anything that will provide adequate protein and energy.

you may need to actually eat something, there is nothing in these meals. IF you are doing any decent cycling/endurance work you will need to eat substantially more than this.
While carbs are not essential to endrance exercise (once fat adapted) they make training in general a site easier.

I don't know how you can subsist on this diet with two-a-day cycle workouts. That is about 1200-1500 calories a day (estimate). You need to really increase those calories. You will go into OT mode in no time with this.
