what do you eat for breakfast and lunch?

[Zen]

Wow. You folks eat a lot.

Breakfast (about 10am): ~4oz grilled beef, chicken or fish. Small chunk of cheese. Tea or decaf coffee, black.

Lunch: lunch?

Dinner (about 4pm): small mixed salad, no dressing, often with a hardboiled egg. Tea or decaf coffee, black.

Evening snack (not every night): cup of mixed nuts, or a couple cups of popcorn.

Lots of water and plain tea (black, green, herbal) in between. Ride days I'll have my morning protein in a sandwich between wholewheat bread or in a wholewheat wrap. And a juice and power bar midway thru the ride.

Not helpful for weight loss, though.

That's not enough to eat, especially if you're trying to lose weight. Your body sees that it's not getting enough nutrients and is holding on for dear life, literally.
