Learn how pro-cyclists manage their diets to keep them in top shape. Maybe you can learn some tricks from them.

· Breakfast. Runners burn A LOT of calories. They lose up to 4,000 calories every day. That’s why breakfast is important to them and it should be to you too. A hearty breakfast fills your tanks as you start the day. Most of them eat oatmeal with fruit. Skipping breakfast will not give you enough fuel to continue your workout.

· Hydration. It can depend on a variety of circumstances but, on average, runners consume a pint of fluid every hour. They drink plain water and add the fancy sports drinks and different mixes there. But for those who are not pro-runners, drinking enough water will still be beneficial. This will help you burn more calories as your body warms the water to your body temperature.

· Eat throughout the day. Runners eat a lot as they burn more than 300 calories every hour. Some chew sports bars and gels, while others eat potatoes, sandwiches, rice delicacies, and fruit. While you may not need to eat as much, try to eat small portions between breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This will keep your metabolism going. But consider not only the quantity but also the quality of the food you eat. Think of lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates.

· Dinner. Most runners are served large amounts of meat for dinner: chicken, beef, and fish. To balance this, they also consume their veggies like kale and spinach. From this, you can see how important lean protein is. This will help you feel full longer and help you feel full. In addition, it also contributes to building and maintaining muscles that burn fat. It is also recommended that dinner be eaten before 8 pm Eating late at night signals the body to store fat that is not expended due to inactivity during the night.
