Special Needs for Training at MiddleAge? No idea...

[jayjay]

Hi . I'm new in this community, and have been posting a few threads in different categories, sharing my plan to go from GroundZero at 46, to a LeanMeanRidingMachine at 47. I haven't ridden super seriously for almost 10 years, and virtually none in the last 5. I am dusting off my three bicycles and plugging them all back into my life (well , 4 really) . I ride mtn and road, but for now am focusing on the road bike in order to lose weight with least impact ~ I'm feeling so sore and achey, especially my feet these days, which I know is from the extra 45 pounds.

The big nagging question is, at my age, I am clueless as to how I should handle the protein/carb/fats balance. I mean, we are not all generically in the same dietary needs. I avoid packaged foods, make most everything from scratch. I am just curious to chat with some other middle-aged women, and hopefully learn some secrets fromt them, about what works really well for the mid-age female engine. Again, I know we're all different, but I just want to chat about it. THank you in advance !
