He tried to break a long standing world record for miles cycled in a year and I was going to be one of his hosts before he had an accident and had to quit.  The team's instructions for his food (hosts had to prepare it for him as he had a tight schedule) was lots of high protein stuff - particularly sausages.  Though I shall steer clear of them and burgers I think as they have rusk or breadcrumbs in - at least the homemade ones I'd made anyway.Time to go very much reduced carb at the very least. Couple of questions.I see around that dairy (cow) milk is frowned up because of the lactose.  So can you use lactose free as an alternative?  Oatmilk and such are not particularly environmentally friendly to my knowledge.  Also if milk is not good - how come full fat plain yogurt is?  The one is made from the other.... the culture that makes the yogurt from the milk consumes the lactose I guess?Chickpeas are bad then?  Falafel and houmous are my current go-to for lunch...</blockquote>
