I might be wrong, but I think our culture imagines professional cyclists eating anything they want. The grand tour guys (Tour de France folk) like Lance Armstrong have some interesting things to say.
"Some times you have to skip meals..." Oh my, that makes mothers cringe ;)

And here is a funny post by another grand tour rider Taylor Phinney. He used to be a track rider where weight isn't as important. But now he's riding with the big boys in the Giro d'talia.

It might depend on the athlete :)
