Training & Nutrition - Supplements vs. Food   View Full Version
: Supplements vs. Food  07-05-09, 03:29 AM Name some cycling
specific supplements, then someone else name a food that can do
the job just as well or better, if you don't know of any
yourself.   1. Carb/Protein recovery shake 2. Hammer
Perpetuem(carb/protein drink for long rides) 3. Protein Shakes
4. Hammer Gel (I LOVE THIS STUFF, but its pretty pricey.)   1.
Milk 2. Nuts and fig newtons 3. Three egg whites 4. Bread?????
Need some help here...  The point I'm trying to make by this
thread is that we are all being fooled by slick marketing to
some extent. I love Hammer Gel and can't stop buying the stuff.
Not that there is anything wrong with spending your money the
way you want on a convenient product, it's just good to know
what other options there are such as real food that isn't hyped
up by marketing. I'm sure if broccoli were marketed the same way
many supplements are, we'd be eating a lot more broccoli...
