People forget you're losing water mostly through breath whilst cycling. I'm fairly sold on salt being important along with your carbs. Yesterday think I should have had more.
I now eat some protein usually (about 12g per 2hrs).
If I skip carbs I bonk.
If I skip salt I get lightheaded and mentally slow(er).
If I skip protein I feel hungry and generally unhappy.
