I biked 62 miles... I don't think it'll be a problem

I actually gained wieght during my tour. I rode way more than usual and I guess I ate more too. The incresed appetite is a big problem for me. I have to really watch it when I finish riding or I will be a balloon in no time.

I try to monitor what I eat overall... I understand that it's important to try to make sure what I eat is justified by the activity. I didn't think that I had eaten TOO much yet and I was REALLY hungry when I ate the mac and cheese... it wasn't a little hunger grumble... it was a roar. And supper was a splurge, I probably would've eaten that much anyway. I don't eat like that all of the time.

The only exercise that makes me hungry immediately is swimming. My metabolism and need for food seem to change slowly from endurance sports. When I backpack, it takes 3-4 days for food craving to set in. The cycling I do over the summer keeps me about 5 lb lighter than I am over the winter, but not sure how much my caloric intake changes.
