Have you noticed that the classic cycle energy foods are carbs/sugar mixed with fat?
Soreen, Fig Rolls etc.. Can you see that the sugar makes them high energy but the fat makes them slow to digest and a stable source of energy for an activity like cycling?
Can you imagine the difference between munching on malt loaf during a break and downing a bottle of pop/fruit juice? Both will contain similar amounts of sugar but have different effects.
