What does the diet of a pro cyclist look like?

Call me a traditionalist but what's wrong with a Mars bar and a banana???
Mars bars ripen much faster in a saddlebag...fact.

Ooh. I'd kill for a Mars now you've mentioned one.

I think I count 12 patties so that's just 12 quarter pounders then? Which is really some way short of 12kg by a very, very long chalk. 30,000 calories is right for 12kg beef but not for what is shown methinks, unless the buns are stotties and the patties are 2.204 pounders in which case I'm in

thats the starter mate

Anyone that's done a longer audax (plenty of you, I'm sure) will know that on the ride itself it's a matter of whatever the stomach will take. For some weird and wonderful reason, the stomach gets remarkedly picky - despite the hunger. Some will obviously experience this more than others. I'm fortunate, I'm a comparative garbage guts!
