So I spoke to my trainer yesterday and as it turns out, I am not eating nearly enough for the training I am doing. I have been eating to satiety, but that's not enough calories. I was trying to figure out why or how I could have lost so much muscular ability (strength training yesterday was murderous) and now it makes sense that I had been cannibalizing muscle when I didn't have the necessary calories that day. Time to start taking in liquid calories too.

I've been thinking about this lots particularly since I'll be burning 3-4000 calories per day on my big ride this summer, and I can't even imagine eating that many solid calories. I'll have to look into some decent liquid nutrition. Zach (PT) just suggests buying some maltodextrin and adding it to my drinks.

Any of you guys have favorite liquid calories for cycling?
