Channelluv, just view cycling..as a way of seeing more golden eagles..figurativey speaking so that you cycle several times / wk.
Having a vague idea about overall calories is helpful but on a daily basis ...I dunno how some people do it.
Instead relook at the type of food one eats and how it's flavoured, prepared. Subtract nearly all the deep fried foods and reserve it for occasional times annually.
Does your food have much in hidden sugars?..I was amazed when visiting a friend who told me she was trying to lose weight. I believe her since she keeps up faithfully her 45 min. daily solo walk rain, snow or shine. But some of her savoury cooking...I could really taste the ...sugar. If I have sugar, then I stick to something I expect to have sugar..which is dessert.
Just fall in love with cycling but don't feel it obligates you to eat more..unless you are cycling across California. (You never know!)
