While Kris Holm is the best unicyclist, he's a bit lean for my taste. I suspect he'd be a bit chewy.

I'd think Jeff Groves would make the best unicyclist food.

Seriously, what kind of unicycling are you doing? A distance rider is going to have a much different diet than a trials rider...

I eat the same foods as I would for similar activities. Since I'm into endurance riding, that's high carb easily digested foods. These include breads, cookies, sugar water (sports drink, soda, whatever), sports food like energy gels or bars, etc.

Well, my unicycle really loves to eat little pebbles it picks up on the trail! It really gobbles 'em up especially if it hasn't eaten in a day or two!

OH sorry, you said unicyclist! Um...carbs before the ride and protein after.

I have waaaay more evergy if I don't eat anything within two hours of my rides, and then only a light meal. You can load up with pasta carbs the night before and it will give you plenty of lasting energy for the next days ride...which should be in the morning lol.

If you eat a big meal too soon before ride (I'm talking mostly about longer MUni rides) your body will be too busy digesting the meal and will reduce your energy level and sap your body of needed oxygen. Eat light at least 2 hours before your ride, and then take a couple snacks and plenty of water.

bah, vegan isn't NEAR as healthy as a balanced diet.

vanpaun · 2008-05-21, 01:39 AM

yeah, vegetarian has a good balance. vegans lack b12 except if your saudi arabian.

I would like to hear what you would recommend for the trials diet.
