Do other people count calories?

So how many calories per day do you eat?

I haven't kept track in a few months - not since I got down to race weight. Now it's more important to fuel for my activity level.

The Monday after my last race I probably ate around 2500! I was starving all day. Of course I didn't eat a whole lot on race day.

In general - breakfast comes in around 600 - 800, morning snack 200, lunch 400, dinner 400 - 500. So between 1600 - 1900, which is in line with your base. I just don't add more 'cause I worked out. Honestly my weekly workouts don't require any extra calories to fuel the workout. They are only an hour apiece. Weekends when I'm doing bricks and long runs I'll eat gels and electrolyte drinks during the workout, but I don't up my "regular" food amount.
