One option is to track your eating, activity, sleep and energy levels for a week or two. See what happens when you eat, when you ride, how the rides go etc etc. Then you can fine tune. Everybody IS different and you need to find what works for you

If you find that weight loss isn't happening, then you might be able to see why with your diary. Or at least show it to a dietician who might be able to help.

Good luck!

So that's 800 plus the 100 cal gel, plus the 100 cal Gatorade that's a total of 1000. Then add the cup of choc. milk when I get home and that's already 1200.

If I do eat when I get home then it triggers something in me and then I start to eat anything and everything in the house. So if I don't eat will I have enough energy to ride the next day at 5:30pm? I just don't want the dead legs feeling the next day.
