How can I change my eating behaviour as a cyclist to support my performance?

How can I change my eating behaviour as a cyclist to support my performance?

Change your eating behaviour by using self-evaluation, short-, mid- and long-term goal setting and coping strategies to empower change. Regularly assessing these aspects keeps you focused on your goals, encouraging to adjust strategies while helping you maintain momentum.

Why should I change my eating behaviour as a cyclist to support my performance?

Daily nutrition plays a crucial role in influencing performance. For athletes, who make over 200 unconscious food choices each day, these decisions are largely driven by ingrained habits. Utilising behaviour change techniques is crucial for transforming your eating habits, ultimately shaping your overall eating pattern to fuel your performance. Integrate minor adjustments in your product and meal choices to sync with your training routine. Over time, these changes build new routines vital for reliable performance fueling.

How do I get my eating behaviour on point?

Transform your eating habits by making minor adjustments in your product and meal choices, aligning them with your training routine. Follow a continuous process involving:

  1. Self-evaluation: Evaluate by logging your current eating routines, assessing their nutritional dimensions and identifying patterns. The FoodCoach app, trusted by our riders, can assist with this process. Athletes often overestimate their ability to align with performance nutrition guidelines. Self-evaluation challenges beliefs, revealing oversimplifications or contradictions to scientifically proven insights.
  2. Goal setting: Commit to short-term (this week/month), mid-term (this season), and long-term (in 5 years) objectives to obtain direction and motivation.
  3. Coping strategies to empower change: Celebrate small successes, practice mindful eating, optimise your environment, embrace motivation and setbacks, replace bad habits with good ones, and seek social support.

Empower yourself with the FoodCoach app, a tool designed for you to Do-It-Yourself. Earn performance medals, strategically crafted to guide you toward focused and tangible performance gains. Enhance your knowledge and confidence with scientifically proven insights from elite athletes and their experts. Most crucially, leverage our challenges to pinpoint small changes in your eating routines, propelling you towards achieving your performance dreams step by step.
