I'm seeing a personal trainer who believes that, with my level of activity, I should easily be eating 2000 calories a day, maybe even 2500 in the summer when I really kick up my riding. I'd say that I'm really probably averaging 1600-1800 calories. Probably less. Breakfast is usually some protein, usually canadian bacon or turkey bacon, just two slices, a 1/4 cup of egg whites or egg beaters, a glass of skim milk, and a piece of wheat bread with a bit of nutella. Lunch is usually lettuce wraps, a salad, or something along those lines. Dinner is usually ground turkey of some sort, veggies, usually no carbs, or brown rice if I've had a good workout. In between, I snack on fruit, maybe yogurt. Sometimes a handful of nuts. After I eat, I'm usually hungry around 2 hours later. I drink enough water to float me around the world. How can I get more of the "right" calories in? What are other options for healthy "small meals"?
I should mention that I see a personal trainer once a week, and ride at least 4 days a week (averaging 17mph for about 20 miles), longer rides on the weekends, and running on my "off" days. I know that seems like a 10 day week, but it varies from week to week
What say you, oh wise ones?
