So, we’re all aboard the carb-loading train, huh? But what about the delicate dance of balancing those carbs with protein and fat? Are we really optimizing performance, or are we just creating a buffet on wheels? 
And the timing—can we truly nail that sweet spot? What if that pre-ride smoothie is a double-edged sword? Is it possible that overloading on nutrients could backfire during that grueling climb, leaving us gasping for breath rather than soaring past the competition?
Let’s peel back the layers: what’s the science behind timing and balance in our fueling strategies? Any real-world tales of triumph or disaster out there?
