From competitive cycling perspective GLP1 drugs are not helpful, least of all at the highest levels of sport where doping would be a concern that actually gets testing and enforcement.

When I was at the peak of my training, it was legitimately hard to get enough calories. I had days where my caloric intake was approaching 5000kcal (long zone 2 rides). When you're doing that kind of metabolic load, being unable to consume the calories you need means being unable to recover properly.
