OK, I'm back. I won't go into what I ate on vacation. Most of it wasn't awful, but it wasn't my usual, either. Lots of wine and beer, as well as 2 nights of gelato. Of course the breakfasts at the B and B were not spartan, but not the worst, either, in that they had turkey bacon, chicken sausage, and the portions were not huge.

L Piece of WG toast, peanut butter
handful of almonds
sirloin steak, au gratin potatoes, veges, glass of wine, few bites of custard (it was my birthday dinner!)
I've decided that I am eating too many carbs and too much fat on non-ride days. I've gained a little weight and body fat which I am not happy about - riding more will take care of that but I need to keep a tighter rein on my diet for non-ride days.

This is good to know, I will add more avocado and leave out the tofu. It has that affect on me as well :o I love avocados but have been avoiding them for their high fat content - I know it is "good" fat - but if I just had small servings of this soup it would be fine. Thanks again! I get in a diet rut and this looks yummy :)Quote:
