                                Professional cyclists burn an extraordinary number of calories—often thousands during a single race stage—making precise nutrition control a non-negotiable part of their strategy. This level of energy expenditure means their dietary management goes far beyond simple calorie counting, evolving into a sophisticated system of macro-planning and real-time fueling.
