Either way, you will get all the nutrients you need from eating actual food. Supplements are marketers kidding people that don't know anything about nutrition into thinking they're an elixir.
And semi-skimmed milk doesn't have much fat in it, but if you're really mega obsessed with fat, have a jacket potato. Loads of carbs, reasonable protein, practically no fat.
If you want something slightly more portable, a humble banana is also fantastic as it has a great carbs to calories ratio and hardly any fat.

I've been spending a lot of time out at the library stressing over work and I've not been eating enough. That and only doing 2 smallish sessions per week for the last 2 or 3 weeks has had an effect I think.
A broad rule of thumb is that 1lb of fat needs a calorie deficit of 3,500. Everyone is different and all but it brings home that it's often not fat you're losing when you shed lots very quickly but water etc.
That's why big folks often make a big loss when they first start, because their body starts using glycogen for fuel, and glycogen contains a lot of water.
Just different ways the body uses energy conversion for specific tasks.
Ah cool. Do you cycle for a team?
Your body needs fats.
Glycogen supplements are typically just ways to part yiu from your cash. Yiu can buy some dextrose powder or sweets from your chemist. Spike your insulin and down some protein post workout and then go for more complex carbs an hour or two later, again with a source of protein.
Simple sugars spike your insulin faster. You can find glucose sources in the cooking (cake making) section of your supermarket. I'm not referring to sucrose.
If you're on a low fat diet, just be careful of the long term health implications of depriving your body if fats while saturating it with carbs.
Your body simply isn't quite that catabolic. Your cortisol will be up, but unless you've out on bodyfat I can't see that being a problem. You're simply eating less and you've pooped out the excess without replacing it, and no doubt lost water through less glycogen retention.
What he said.
Nah not really. Used to but it was all a bit cliquey so mainly just do my own thing now. Got a guy I usually ride with but we're not in a club or anything.

simple list of the best fats that may be easily available please Madds ?
The irony is Mother Nature still makes the best 'Suppiments'!
That's a shame with the cliqueyness.
Can you still take a scalp or two if you're not part of one of the teams?
Indeed. It's when we process stuff that it generally goes wrong. I think I'm right in saying that fats in food make us feel fuller, so we don't eat as much. Often food that's branded as low in fat has a lot of sugar in it, which obviously gives us that short term zing before getting us back for more after an hour or so.
Don't suggest everyone is sad and all, but I've found it pays to look at the ingredients on stuff in the supermarket and figure out what's good and what isn't for yourself.

Yeah the European events are open access. You get some semi-pros doing them and some old pros can tip up too, but the majority are just amateurs doing it for kicks. The semi-pros are really good though so for most of us it's more a case of challenging yourself than trying to win the things. That and enjoying the scenery etc. of course
Just bare in mind that high fat and high carb is a bad mix.
Good fats are Omega 3's, MCT's, meats, fish, some nuts, olive oil (not cooked), butter etc
Dairy is fine for some, but problematic for others. I'm not lactose intolerant, but if I eat dairy I won't lose weight generally.
