He's on the potato and pasta train according to his coach who bashes LC.

During the height of the season, more than 70 percent of his calories may come from carbohydrates because he needs the fast-burning fuel to power his aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. During the fall and winter, we increase the percentage of protein in his nutrition program and reduce the carbohydrate contribution to 60 percent to 65 percent.

I cycle now as well as I ever did on LC, but I don't race anymore so I can't relate to that. It would seem if you need to be as light and powerful as possible then LC is the only direct way-- the other is the bulking and cutting most people use. |
