Calorie wise I am still under by about 600 from the target I was given for ride days - and only 100 more than has been my custom to take in. While I will have a snack before bed it won't be that large. It is going to take a little time and consideration to change my diet in the way that I've been advised - you would think it wouldn't be a problem to eat MORE...
Catrin, if you're used to eating a certain way, it's hard to change your habits--this goes for eating too little as well as eating too much! For the last couple months, I haven't been eating enough to fuel workouts. Now that I'm actually riding again, I end up draining my fuel reserves and then going overboard when dinner rolls around, which isn't good for me or my wallet because there's a good chance that I'm too lazy/tired to make dinner, so I head to Chipotle...to the point that I've gained a few pounds this month, though I can put some of that down to stress and slightly too much beer. Somehow I still haven't learned to back off while riding. But the speed is fun!:rolleyes:Quote:

Thankfully my actual diet is fine from what they tell me.
I like Chipotle, but yeah, it is easy to over-do it there and it isn't all that inexpensive...
2 dried apricots and 5 almonds
2 mile run-walk
Brunch: 2 egg omelette with green chili salsa, 3 slices turkey bacon, half an orange, coffee
Snack/lunch: small bowl of Greek non fat yogurt, blueberries, nuts and cranberries, one slice whole wheat bread with soy nut butter
24 mile ride
S: piece of Machengo cheese and 2 whole wheat pita rounds
D: turkey meatballs stuffed with fennel seed in a minestrone soup made with spinach and kidney beans, tomatoes, low salt chicken broth, salad, glass of red wine, 2 squares dark chocolate.
Most of the time it's not too bad because I can get two meals out of a burrito. But on hard-ride days, I tend to inhale the things!Quote:
