Chapters are broken down by meal, but also include sections on hydration, supplements, gut health, and weight loss-everything a cyclist needs to know to reach peak performance. The text includes recipes that will appeal to a wide range of people within the dietary spectrum, but without pontificating complicated or abstract diet theories or using a typical ingredients and intensive cooking preparations. For example, instead of a 20-ingredient list for a gluten-free pancake, the book showcases a recipe that involves just sweet potatoes, eggs, and a bit of cinnamon with maple syrup. Fuel Your Ride is a readable, interesting, and sometimes humorous diet and nutrition book that pushes the fun without losing the science.
