WHY Cyclists Are So Skinny - The REAL reason #shorts #cycling

😂

25 million calories per Tour is 2000 Big Macs per day. Team food budgets must be astronomical.

Jokes on them, I’m 100 lbs

Different kinds of cycling. Long distance riders who're in the Tour de France are skinny, but velodrome cyclists like Jason Kenny are muscular. It's like how marathon runners are skinny, and sprinters are muscular. Different types. One is sustained energy over a long time, one is a large amount of energy for a short time.

Um....no buddy !! They burn around 6000 calories a day, over the length of the tour equals around 126,000 calories.

25m calories burned including the riders, the teams and the crowd

No no no - pro cyclists obsess about their diets.
Most are also naturally lean.
Please dont feed into eating disorders

Average rider in the tour burns 7 to 8 million calories per day ( 7,000 -8,000 kcalories). The cycling weekly article this came from. She has the calories and Kcalories factor wrong. A tour rider burns over 100 million calories in the 3 weeks.

You just compared a climber vs a track cyclist 😂😂😂

Oh I'm so done with ordinary cycle commute to my office. I'll give an electric cycle a chance.

Lol

100%

If u wanna be a sprinter then yeah sure eat alot but if u wanna be a climber then u gotta be very skinny

The math ain’t mathin

Hmmm, it's relative, though, based on the energy system you're using. Aerobic vs. Anaerobic. Long distance/endurance athletes usually slim. Power/Strength athletes built. Another example is marathon runners vs. sprinters 🙏👍💪❤️💯😎

I guessing Jason Kenny can squat a lot more from 146 pounds.

Depends on what sort of racer you are

You cannot exercise offa bad diet 💯 they eat clean food. And most of them starve when not racing.

Correction: Jason can squat 146 slices of pizza and I want to eat 146 slices of pizza. You're welcome.
