performance + weight loss...

You jog also, Crankin so you do need abit more for breakfast.

If we had more kitchen space, we would have a waffle iron.

I only have egg whites or an egg for breakfast when we are vacationing somewhere out of town. When at home, I tend to make an egg dish for supper, maybe several times per month.

I've never counted calories for meals. In a way, I don't want to/need to. I'm already slim. I would become obsessive which is not helpful to me.

It's interesting to read the different topic threads over past few years, about the sports drinks (or similar), sports gels but it still doesn't interest me. But then I'm a person who never liked pop drinks either. It's either water or natural fruit juice. I just find it best to eat closest to real food as best for my body for cycling while keeping my weight at a reasonably stable level. I will have clocked in 2,200 kms. these last 2 months....no gels, sports drinks during any of these rides. During this time period, the longest ride in 1 day was 81 kms., where around 45 kms., I had a small 6" simple pizza and coffee from an Italian bakery. Then at approx. mile 70, I had a granola bar and water. At the end immediately after the ride, it was gelato. Not exactly healthy.....oh well.

But it is an ongoing effort (for the rest of our lives), to balance our weight, diet, etc. If only some folks knew how much effort it takes to be approx. same healthy weight for past few years/decades. Sheesh. #R$E%$^%^%^^^ At least we all love cycling, that helps alot!!
