Emily, there's no way I'm not eating enough. Even if I took out the factor of being less strict on the weekends, my portion sizes are not super small. They're not huge, but I could not exist on some of the portion sizes recommended. You are right that my eating is very clean, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I suspect a couple of things. One, is that I naturally gain a couple of pounds in the winter, which sheds as soon as I start more outdoor cycling, even though I am exercising just as much. The other is that my body seems to be exquisitely fine tuned to whatever changes I make. And, the fact is, I get ravenous when I do outdoor winter stuff, even more than when I do hard rides. I also am going to try to do some different stuff with exercising. Not more stuff, maybe just doing some different things once in awhile.
