How to Eat Like Lance Armstrong

As Lance Armstrong trains for what he hopes will be his seventh successive victory in the Tour de France, Chris Carmicheal, Armstrong's very-media-friendly trainer, talks about, well, just about everything. In this interview with FitTV, Carmichael touches on Armstrong's training during his recovery from cancer, his training from a distance (not a problem, thanks to the Internet), his age (the average age of a Tour de France winner is 29), and, in his most useful responses, Armstrong's diet.
"As the Tour de France approaches," says Carmichael," Lance's nutrition program moves from about 65 percent carbohydrate to 70 percent carbohydrate, and he'll consume about 13-14 percent of his calories from protein, and 16-17 percent from fat. In terms of foods, he loves pasta and also seeks whole grains like brown rice and oats, multigrain breads, and lots of vegetables. Protein sources include primarily eggs, fish, poultry, and low-fat dairy products like yogurt. Fat plays important roles in endurance athletics and health, so we don't massively cut his fat intake. Rather, Lance tries to stick with unsaturated fats from olive and canola oils, seeds, nuts, and fish."
