Thanks Raindrop - I have been working at getting more and a greater variety of veggies in my diet. I DO think that I need to make dinner my smallest meal of the day and have larger lunches/pm snacks to assure my body has the fuel it needs for my late afternoon/very early evening workouts and rides. My carb sources are typically pretty good - but of course there isn't a "perfect" diet, and I do think it is important we mix it up - something that I am better at saying than doing...
