I would like all of you to post your opinions about nutrition and what is the best way for you tu get lean and stay in an optimal body weight.
In my case, I started in October trying to follow Paleo adapted to cyclists after reading the "Paleo diet for athletes" book, but I don't feel it suits for me after some weeks. The leaner and lighter I was last year was after following Diet Quality Score app based on "Racing Weight" book. It adds a bit of dairy (4 portions) and some whole grains, and I think it's a better option for me. Anyway, everybody is different. What I always try is to avoid processed foods and sugar, I quite can do it, but still eating a portion of chocolate before going to bed...
I'll see how I go, my goal is to weight maximum 63 kgs in April when I'll try a podium in a Granfondo (my first goal).

I've never tried peanut butter until last year with some american guys in Switzerland...here in Spain is not usual to have it on the supermarket, but I liked it as a snack to have while riding with a piece of bread.

If you don't know the height, why do you claim chris47 has an eating disorder?
Edit: found this:

So yeah, that's a rather unusual low weight... (but any further comments should probably be posted in the other thread).

It's not usual of course to see that body weight with that height. It means a weight/height ratio of 0.2758. For climbers for example, that ratio is normally between 0.34 and 0.36. It's too low, but only a doctor can decide what's the reason.

You need a course in interpretation.
I wrote it sounds . . .
where do you see that I claim?
Im just healthy sceptical. When I see a male writing he is vegan AND only 50 kilo's AND raceweight there goes some alarmbells off, and so it should with you. Remember the subject is here nutrition. After posting I already found in his profile his weight, height and age. Because he is only 16 its less a concern or . . . maybe a big one because young people with a focus on weight is a trigger for eating disorders. Just facts and stuff to think about.
Tell me Chris is the 47 in your forumname a reference to your weight maybe?
Anyway you have no reasons to focus on low or raceweights with such low amount of kilo's. Focus on health and drop to look at your weight the coming time.
Cheers

I'd be interested in reading up on this, eg meal suggestions, snacks etc. Any recommendations?
