  • How does eating less saturated fats and cholesterol improve athletic performance? Is it helpful for endurance sports like cycling?
  • How do you know if you are not getting enough fat?
  • What are some good plant-based sources of protein?
  • What are some other advantages of a plant-based diet for cyclists?
  • Do you have any tips for keeping to a healthy diet while traveling?
  • How big of a factor is diet in athletic performance?
