SPORTS NUTRITION
For 2-3 days prior to the Bike MS event you should super-fuel your muscles by eating hearty amounts of carbohydrate-rich foods. About 60-70% of your calories (3-5 grams/lb. Body Weight) should come from grain foods (pasta, rice, and cereal), fruits, juices and vegetables. Include small amounts of protein to protect your muscles but limit fatty foods.
