I've decided that I am eating too many carbs and too much fat on non-ride days. I've gained a little weight and body fat which I am not happy about - riding more will take care of that but I need to keep a tighter rein on my diet for non-ride days.

Yesterday:

B: Steel cut oats with blueberries, a little PB + skim milk and coffee
S: Chobani non-fat yogurt
L: two thin slices whole wheat sourdough bread with two slices turkey bacon, sprouts and tomato. Apple.
S: banana
D: Cliff bar
S: small amount of bran cereal with low-fat chocolate milk....I need to go shopping.

L: half a ham and low fat provolone sandwich on whole wheat, Dijon mustard, an apple
S: packet of TJ's nuts and cranberries, little piece of Cojita cheese
D: Baked haddock with yogurt/parmesan topping, sweet potato, salad with goat cheese, walnuts, 2 pieces of dark chocolate
