Would be curious what those professionals who work for the TdF teams think about such research into nutrition. Waste of time? Know it all already? Can't teach me anything new?
Somehow I doubt it.
A good historical application of this study would have been the Terra Nova Scott Expedition to the South Pole in 1910. They laid food caches but (among other things) miscalculated the energy expenditure of man hauling and deteriorated/starved enroute to base. A future example will be predicting food requirements for multi year manned space flights to Mars.
