• Haha aye sounds about right to be fair.

    It seems like I'm doing my usual weight loss regime but I think with the app I am accurately taking in 1500 cals while before I would probably be up at 2000 or more.

    I should be using it for good....not evil. * uplifting music plays *

  • It looks like you are keeping your general food intake at a dependable 1500-1600 calories.
    So unless you are heavily reducing carbs, I would suggest specifically fuelling your workouts.

    With your caloric deficit, you could probably eat exactly the calories needed to replace your cycling calorie burn, and still make fast progress. I'd go for more satisfying food choices pre/during/post workout than energy gels though.

    2 hours on the bike will be at least 1000 kcals, which is the equivalent of 10 medium bananas, or 2 very large bowls of porridge.

  • Its actually quite a nice thing isn't it. More eating, cant grumble at that.

    Do you think it can be broken up into days....in the sense that, on riding days I eat more on non riding days I eat less, is it as simple as that? Replacing calories rather than building them up?
