So I've been doing some reading and when I was in Vancouver I spoke to a few nutritional consultants about my health, and my goals and activities.
I've been loosing weight and I'm at what I feel is a good weight to height ratio (61kg, 179cm) and I feel good, but I want to develop lean muscle mass and stay healthy. I was told that if I am not taking in enough protein, carbs, vitamins etc that I run the risk of having my body taking what it needs from itself.
Currently I have been training (un structured) 3 days a week and a 100+km ride per week, and I will start a training program in April that will have me riding 4-5 days a week. I take High5 4:1 right after all rides currently and I do all appropriate in-ride, pre ride nutrition.
I am thinking of adding a protein drink, a regular whey protein or a High5 protein, after rides both training and longer rides.
Any advice, experience
