I agree, and when I was stress eating the last few months I actually found I felt better on my bike when I ate more than I burned if I was eating nutritious food. I am back to a very small calorie deficit in January and will work on my balance. It does take a lot of focus, since I naturally eat 100-200 calories more than I burn if I don't track more carefully than I have been and weigh every day.
I had internet access problems the last couple of days - 146 this week. Sorry for the late post.
