Butter Chicken – a cyclist's best friend?














-- The secret of India's cycling prowess is out - Butter chicken 

Nutritionists lamenting the western (and now Eastern…..maybe Southern, too) world's growing number of fat bastards have fingered New Zealand's favourite Indian delicacy butter chicken as the number one dietary sinner. The study found that butter chicken packs some of the highest levels of saturated fat among takeaway foods.

This is great news for cyclists, who will be excited by the headline finding, which states that a single serving of India's finest provides sufficient calories for five hours of cycling.

Five hours on one curry. That's magnificent. A cyclist's winning formula. Watch out for this season's race nutrition breakthrough - Butter Chicken Leppin?
