Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bananas are always a favourite amongst sports people, and are amongst the best carbs for cycling and running with good reason. They are neatly wrapped, easy to eat and have around 25 grams of carbs, depending on their size.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fats are the slowest source of energy but the most energy-efficient form of food. Each gram of fat supplies the body with about 9 calories, more than twice that supplied by proteins or carbohydrates. Because fats are such an efficient form of energy, the body stores any excess energy as fat.
