I've been tracking calories along with the exchanges too, and I'm eating above what I should be, in my opinion. The dietician is right that I don't eat like a werewolf on days I do long rides anymore by eating more calories on the other days, but I'm also gaining weight at this rate.



I'm not sure how long I should keep this experiment going. I'll give it another week and then I'm off this plan. I can't continue to gain weight.
I'm not familiar with how the exchange thing works, but can you reduce things a bit each day, so you're still eating more on non-ride days, just not as much as the past couple of weeks?
