Overweight Cyclists?

[Blueberry]

PI was just wondering how many overweight folks eat enough fruits and veggies. Thyroid issues notwithstanding, I would bet that increasing fruits and veggies would help with weight loss, as well as improving health (that's my goal).

I've gotten away from An Apple A Day, but now I'm back on it.

I'm overweight (not saying how much), and yes, I eat enough fruits and veggies. When I eat grains, they're whole, and in calorie controlled portions. Lots less dairy than I used to. Lean protein. Yeah, my diet is great.

As others have said, some of us are very efficient in our use of calories

For once, efficiency is not what's needed! Good for all you who eat so well. I aspire to your good habits and good health! Blueberry, if it hadn't been for your avatar, I would not have known who you are.

I enjoyed my apple this afternoon. Since I haven't planned any supper today (that starts tomorrow), looks like I'm going to have some soup. Bread or cereal's looking mighty easy, though.

See, now, take that soup and cook in some shredded cabbage (store-bought next to the bagged lettuce) and a big double-handful of spinach. Done!

Heh. I figured it was time to be a bit less obvious on the location thing Left the avatar so as not to cause total confusion (and the new name has nothing to do with this thread - I swear!)

Some days are better than others. Today wasn't great, but wasn't terrible either. Apple for breakfast, yogurt for a mid-am snack, sushi with veggies for lunch, sliced tomatoes (some of the last from our garden) on locally made bread with locally made cheese and a huge salad (also local greens) with orange slices and toasted almond slivers for dinner.
