Eat plenty of Protien.Get it from grilled Fish, Chicken and lean red meat. Protien is Amino acids which are the building blocks of all muscle tissue. Supplement with a protien drink. Use Whey not Soy. Whey is the most biologically available and does not mimic estrogen like Soy.
Take branch chain amino acids as a supplement.
Have your carbs come from low glycemic index sources like Oatmeal and Sweet Potatoes. These will provide slow release consistant energy. Avoid adreanal stimulants like redbull or monster. They are full of sugar and spike blood sugar levels. The spike and crash roller coaster leads to fatigue and cortisol production. Cortisol stores fat and gives you that soft doughy belly. (Chicks dig a big gut....have another doughnut Jabba).
A higher glycemic index snack or drink is okay just after you train or ride. Fruit or Juice are a good choice.
Hydrate with water not Soda or Sports drinks they are full of sugar and corn syrup.
Good fats are needed for brain and nerve function. ALA's CLA's and omega-6's. You get these from alvacodo's, flax,nuts,cold water fish.
Bad fats are the saturated fats....avoid anything fried or made with transfatty acids which are a Frankenstien molecule created by the hydrogenation of oils (margerine or hydrogenated oils).
Stay away from processed foods ! If a cave man would not know it was food don't eat it! Avoid anything with Hydrogenated oils or high fructose corn syrup. Processed foods are like pouring syrup in your gas tank. If you want high performance from your body eat natural high performance foods.
