  1. Today I was having my breakfast - fried potatoes and chicken with brown
    sauce and olives - and thinking that perhaps this isn't the best choice
    of breakfast as far as health is concerned. So, I thought that maybe I
    should start paying more attention to my diet to increase both my
    unicycling ability and health.

    So, what do you professional riders eat? What kind of a diet would you
    advise for me? I'm 19 years old, I ride nearly every day(around 10
    hours a week), I go to school, I'm 176cm(or similar) and 64kg. I mostly
    ride trials and street.

  2. What you eat does not have a particular effect, as long as you burn it
    off. That guy that ate McDonalds every meal obviously didn't exercise.
    A similar test was done, but with exercise, and all went swell.

    Just stay away from transfats. Chips, fries and the like are harmful.
    My diet is mainly composed of fruit with chicken and fish. I take the
    vitamins, but only cause they taste good =). I consider myself health:
    I can swim, run, bike, cross country ski better than my two older
    siblings. The main thing is just to get out and do stuff.

  4. ooh...I want some olives now.

    but seriously, my breakfasts usually consist of some sort of healthy
    breakfast cereal (shredded wheat, raisin bran, etc) or some carbs
    (bagels, etc.).

    oh yeah, and drink lotsa water...really helps. my friends tell me I
    have a drinking problem 🙄

    Yeah, that's the most important part as well as keeping your diet
    ballanced. Most people neglect their green vegetables. Athletes need
    more proteen than your average person. Whatch you caloric consumption
    and the scale. If you start to gain weight (if your done growing,
    which you may be) you need to cut back your calories and/or ride more
    to burn them off. 150 lbs or a bit less I think would be a good wieght
    for a 5' 9" unicyclist (less wieght = jump higher, but not too low and
    you won't have the streingth to jump as high, it's a ballance)

    Edit: whole grains, tuna, chicken, turkey, beens (esp. soy), are good.
    Also eliminate sugar wherever you can.

    Dang, that means I have to give up my beloved chocolate cake slice that
    I have twice per week?:eek: My diet is very healthy otherwise, plus I
    don't smoke or drink alcohol, so I gotta have ONE vice! Besides, with
    all my riding and other activities, I burn it off pretty quick. 😎

    Yeah my only vice, and it's a big one, is sweets as well. Burning it
    off is not the problem (I can't seem to gain wieght, I've tried). One
    of my aunts has type two diabetes, so I need to cut back big time for
    that reason

  10. Woah Woah Woah, lets slow down abit here guys and look at this argument
    properly.

    Where you got this idea I don't know. Just because one burns calories
    and does not eat to excess does not mean one is "healthy". True, by
    exercising you won't look chubby and you probably won't feel as bad but
    body still needs energy and it needs real energy not processed garbage.
    Your liver will still be affected, you will still constrict your
    arteries and in turn your heart will have to work harder just to walk
    up a flight of stairs, besides how any of you could eat junk food or
    even low in nutrition food and have the energy to exercise beats me.

    Quoted message said:

    my breakfasts usually consist of some sort of healthy breakfast cereal
    (shredded wheat, raisin bran, etc) or some carbs (bagels, etc.).

    Watch out for these things, they are hidden dangers, many contain high
    levels of salt or sugar, but I think you're safe with shredded wheat.
    Bagels aren't so good for you but everything in moderation.

    Quoted message said:

    If you start to gain weight (if your done growing, which you may be) you

    Paying attention to weight is not always sensible or accurate. BMI is
    an average. If you are gaining muscle you will appear heavier but will
    be healthier.

    Balance is the key as some of you have mentioned. Have a balance of
    protein, chicken, pork, fish or if you are vegetarian this can come
    from nuts, oats and other sources. Get your carbs in brown rice and
    pasta, brown bread etc. and your 5 fruit and veg a day. You know what's
    right and get your exercise in as all of you seem to know already.

    Terry, the rules for most are, if you're good 75% of the time you can
    bebad 25%, so don't worry about your cake. :p

  12. In the mornings, its usually eggs, toast, waffles, pancakes, something
    along those lines. And always a glass of milk, or maybe two glasses.

    Throughout the day, im always drinking water, cup by cup, big cups
    too.

    For lunch, usually its macaroni and cheese, or a sandwich, nothing
    big, just anything to tie me over, and another few glasses of milk.

    Then I drink a lot of water.

    Dinner is pretty random. Today it was a beef stew, yesterday it was
    tacos, the day before that was steak and potatoes.

    After dinner, I still drink tons of water until bed.

    Rotting can mean "the general decomposition of organic objects"...
    which is one way of describing how the body processes food naturally.
    Technically, most food is digested in the stomach and small intestine,
    but I guess some of it could digest in the large intestine... what's
    your point?

  18. Generally the more color the better. So dark green is good, but purple
    is even better (blueberries)! I agree about eliminating sugar, but
    would also extend that to eliminating all refined carbs (white flour).
    I think moderate amounts of proteins are sufficient, and fats should be
    limited to healthy fats (omega3's, olive oil, avacodos, flax,
    hemp...etc). Drink lots of water, but not too much. One glass daily of
    red wine or dark beer.

    Oh yeah, and the usefulness of eating healthy is limited if you still
    overeat.
