Cycling protein shakes are optimal to drink as a recovery drink after hard training, such as weight lifting, indoor- and outdoor cycling, running etc.

Protein is the body’s building block, which maintains the body’s cells and tissue, but works also as backup energy, e.g. in the case of undernourishment. Cycling protein shakes can help you to obtain sufficient proteins but should be adjusted to your level of workout and needs.

• A normal person should have 1g of protein per. kilo body weight in order to maintain their weight / muscle mass.
• A top athlete should have 1,5g of protein per. kilo of body weight. So, if you weigh 70kg and do not do (cycle) sports on a pro level, then you should consume approx. 70g of protein per. day. However, if you do cycling on a pro level, then you should consume approx. 105g of protein per. day if you have a weight of 70kg.
• If you do cycling as exercise with approx. 3 training stints a week you should have proteins, which are the equivalent of about 1,25g of protein per. kg. In other words, approx. somewhere between pro level and normal people.

Conversely, proteins can also be used to regulate your body mass downwards. This means that proteins combined with other initiatives can be used in relation to weight loss without losing muscle mass. This is often what most racing cyclists have trouble with.

The cells are strained by the training you have done, but if you provide your body with Protein, which can be mixed with soya milk, milk or water, then the body absorbs it quickly.Proteins on their own are a necessary aid to the body in the rebuilding phase.

The body generally absorbs liquid food faster than regular food as an energy source.You should not be afraid of straining your cells doing training. If you quickly provide your body with the necessary carbohydrates, protein, fat, water, vitamins, minerals, fibres and herbs following training you not only help your body to recover, but you increase your fundamental physical performance level as well as it being the most healthy for your body in the short and long term.

As regards losing weight, women should consume approx. 100 grams of protein per. day and men approx. 150 grams per. day without the use of bike training. Weight loss will happen more slowly without activity as a supplement. So it is a good idea to supplement with a more correct nourishment containing proteins and bike rides, if you want to achieve a faster weight loss.
