Power of Protein for a Cyclist

Cycling is an intense sport, therefore the use of protein helps provide a great post-workout. Steadfast Nutrition Power Protein consists of whey protein concentrate along with wheat protein and calcium caseinate. Also, it has natural cocoa powder added to it, which gives it a mild chocolate flavour. It consists of 29.2g of protein along with 5.4 g of glutamic acid and 6.2g of BCAA and 13g of EAA. It has been formulated as per the Indian dietary regulatory standards and under the FSSAI guidelines.

Cyclists should consume Power Protein depending on their protein requirement, activity and training schedule. 2-3 sachets of Power Protein are recommended per day. Power Protein should be consumed post-workout for complete muscle recovery. It helps the muscle to repair and strengthen from all the damage caused by the training.

It has no added flavour, preservatives or thickness along with 3.2g of natural cocoa powder that makes it a mild chocolate flavour protein. Power protein consists of 5 electrolytes and 4 sources of protein.

Cycling involves a lot of sweating, which includes water and electrolyte loss. Therefore, proper hydration is very much required for a cyclist. The electrolytes namely sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and phosphorus are present in Power Protein that helps to also replenish the lost electrolyte stores.

Each sachet of Power Protein provides 150.8kcal, and it can be consumed with water any time of the day but should be consumed preferably after your ride. Just mix one sachet with 300 ml of water. The electrolytes enhance our muscle strength and prevent muscle cramping maintaining the electrolytic functions and water balance of the body.

It helps the muscle to repair and strengthen from all the damage caused by the extensive training. As it is a great blend of slow and fast releasing proteins, and as prolonged training leads to depletion of stored energy in the form of glycogen, it leads the body to target lipids and then amino acids for energy thus power protein helps the body regain the exhausted muscle mass with the help of slow and fast releasing protein over a long period. If you are a cyclist and want the best premium protein to supplement your diet, then power protein is the best to meet up your daily protein requirement.

REVIEW
  • 5 star review  NCC - the name is synonymous with zeal and passion of the ever growing cycling community in Noida. This platform not only helps the regular riders but also aims in strengthening the amateur riders like me. It's a delight to be a part of weekend rides, which include riders from all ages. While someone has rightly mentioned: 'Four wheels move the body, two-wheels ride the soul' I would like to add to this by saying, " Riding two-wheels with engine is easy.The real power comes when you paddle and become its engine." That's what cycling does to you. Noida Cycling Club is not just a community to increase number of riders, it ensure the safety, comfort and building confidence in all its members to have a prodigious riding experience. Well done to the ride coordinators, who act as the back bone of this Club.

    4 star review  Aman Puri , the Chief Cycling Officer runs a great YouTube page and INCUBATES certain riders to take over the mantle from him while he develops his branded/customised biking store in Noida . There are certain issues within NCC members w.r.t leadership roles but that merely causes a rating of 4/5 nothing else. Their WhatsApp group is very strict too, think a hundred times before clicking on the link to add yourself. Thanks . Hope this helped .
