I need help with nutrition and eating right..
I get up at 530, go to the gym and do 5min cardio to wake up then lift for 45 (light lifting)
I ride my bicycle to work and back 8 miles each day. I then do a 20-30 mile ride after work.
I eat OK. But I am skinny and always have been. I feel like I could be eating healthier now that I am being more active. I eat a moderate amount of candy, brownies etc. While it doesnt effect my weight, i feel like it could be affecting my performance. I cook every night and dinner is usually decently healthy, but I need snacks during the day as i get very hungry...
What are the best foods to eat to stay in shape and get alot of good energy from? Should I take a protein supp? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
