    Might be the best pro cycling video I've seen. Practical, easy to follow, and transparent. Thanks Harry!

    Probably the best nutrition video made by a pro cyclist I’ve seen so far besides Alex Dowsett 🤝 This is the content the people need 🤘🏻

      Dowsett doesn't understand nutrition though, so the educational value in his video is 0.

  • @EM-wd2vg

    Proof that healthy food doesn't have to be boring, one of if not the best video I've seen on cycling nutrition.

  • @danm9297

    Amazing advice. “Hunger is a better indicator than counting calories.” That’s really reassuring to know, thanks Harry. 🙂 Top content.

    • @82vitt
      @82vitt Před rokem +2

      Keep in mind that he is a pro athlete who's done this for years (and seems to understand nutrition and sports nutrition too) so even when he says things like "eat off hunger, and not calories" or "I don't really weigh my food" etc. this doesn't mean it's all chaotic. When you understand what you are doing and have experience you can improvise. It wouldn't work for someone who doesn't understand nutrition which is not just about the macro nutrients and calories, but also about supplying the right amount of micronutrients. He's likely done calorie counting and macronutrient tracking before so even if not intentionally counting them anymore, he is aware of how much is roughly in every meal.
