how many calories am I burning?

[Dogmama]

Please explain the same thing to me! I don't ride that many miles but I am always trying to fine something to eat. Bagels with melted butter are my favorite lately, seems that without a nicely toasted whole wheat bagel with butter its impossible to start weekend morning. I never been so hungry with any other type of sport. I mean i do 3 spinning classes a week, 2 morning rides 12 miles each and ride on weekend but eat like i am in a process of doing TDF.

Sometimes hunger is actually thirst. ALSO, you need protein. Bagels & butter don't give you much protein.

Plan your meals, don't raid the cupboards. Get onto FitDay (google it - it's a website) & see how many calories you're really eating - it can be an eye opener. Then, plan to eat something every 3 hours with carbs, a little fat & protein.

If you're just eating carbs, you may be experiencing a carb crash and becoming hungrier each time. Quick protein = hard boiled eggs, a small piece of cheese (both add fats too), turkey or chicken (have the deli slice 2" slices then cut it into bite size pieces for finger food during the day). You should always have a little protein with your carbs.
