when it comes to losing weight and riding, I can't do it! I can ride 90-100 miles a week and gain weight I did try on a pair of pants that last time I wore were snug, they were still a little snug not as bad, but the legs were tight! Hopefully the 4 lbs. I gained are water or muscle.

I have almost quit eating meat, I do have 1-2 Coke's a day, which I am cutting out, but when it comes to most veggies, eat all you want! they have very little calories and lots of good vitamins, as long as they are raw or prepared w/o a lot of oil, etc. I find that 2 big bowls of salad work for me, with a little protein for dinner, and some fruit later or a fruit popsicle.

Again, I haven't lost weight, I seem to have to add running into my schedule to keep my weight down.

I eat about 5 times a day and while I am doing a long ride, I try to stick to natural foods but most don't quite a rumbling tummy, I eat p.b. crackers and granola bars - sugar I know, but they stop the hungry pains. I don't know where else to cut back to lose weight, this has always been a problem for me, sure wish I could afford a trip or two to a nutritionist.

Good luck
