I eat approx a cup of cooked ground beef, with a bit of mushroom, celery and caulifower, salt, pepper, and two table spoon of duck fat. Relax a bit, stretch and I'm ready to go. My typical workout is 10-15 km of rollerblading or 20-25 mountain bike.
I drink water halfway mark, and after a shower I eat a bit of fruit and cheese (grapes or raspberries).
I have no idea if eating more carbs before would make me go faster? To be honest the only thing I care about is that I exercise at approx. 75-80% power for the entire time.
Even if I did load up on carbs, and say it was easier to exercise, I would still give it my 75-80% power; so in the end it would be as hard, the only difference is I would complete 15km faster. And because I'm not in it to break a world record, but to get fit and slim down, I'm ok with the pain... Plus, I have the adrenaline rush after, so I'm a happy bunny.
I will start weight training soon, and I plan to try the carb-cycling method. Some carbs on weekends to load up my muscles with glycogen and induction during the week.
