Science of feeding

I'm glad you found it useful. If you go to her blog, she talks about the first time she trained for IM and how she ate so much she gained weight (pretty crazy!). She has learned a lot since then and her knowledge of nutrition and exercise physiology is impressive. She is certainly an inspiration . I am training for an oly and trying to loose the weight I gained while applying to grad school. I absolutely get you about the linebacker appetite...I just got back from a swim/weights workout and its 8 am and I am HUNGRY!

Thank you so much for posting this. I will have to read up more on this, because for me training = pigging out = gaining weight. Every time I have embarked on a major training effort I have ended up gaining about 15 pounds, probably half muscle half fat.

I'm glad you liked it. I agree with you; I have the same mentality of pigging' out is OK if I train... I am slowly changing the bad habit.

I know this post is a little older but I only just found it. I have been gone from the boards for quite some time, but lurking frequently.

This nutrition post has been very helpful. My riding this year so far could cheerfully be described as dismal, with a trip in the SAG yesterday. Ugh! I am mortified. I know, I know, so much worse happen but...sigh.

I am selling my home, b/f and I had a fight, and I get nervous anyway before group rides. I just couldn't eat much, but am training for an event and don't have enough time in the saddle so I felt I had to go.

Anyway, love this information. Am trying to focus so I won't have this happen next weekend...and this is going to help, I just know it.

Thanks
