1028 Calories! 2-2.5 hours of higher intensity riding to burn off Scott - a return trip to the Mt Mee Community Hall ought to cover it :)

I reckon they ought to re-design the nutrition panels on food, and kJ on fast food menus.
Replace kJ's with how many km's you have to walk,run,ride. That would get through a lot of thick heads! :)

I'll have to think about snacks to get me through the 260k of the Tour of Flanders tonight! Maybe an extra potato. My Scottish ancestors would be so proud.

btw, my first wake up weigh in below 80kg this morning!

Nice one on the weigh in.

I plan on a Campbells Pocket ride on Wednesday so hopefully that will help :lol:

No eating for me watching Flanders. I am on night shift and I avoid eating after 8 pm. I dont eat breakfast when I get home becuase I find it hard to get to sleep afterwards. I will not eat again until tomorrow afternoon when I get up.

You are practically doing the 5:2, or Fast Diet. A mate is having great success with it. He has about 500Cals two days a week - doesn't eat lunch those days and has smaller b'fast and dinner.

I'm looking forward to seeing how I handle the hills when I reach my goal body composition. I'd be weaker at the moment due to a long Cal deficit. Nevertheless, I'm heading out to Samford Valley to ride some firetrails on the cx tomorrow. Don't think I'll do anything stupid like Smith Street's Kedron Creek climb.

Decided to do a more realistic Easter bunny and had carrot for breakfast instead of chocolate eggs. Also, we forgot to buy some.

If it wasnt for the kids we wouldnt have any. My wife gets migraines from chocolate and I really dont need it, but I always seem to get some at this time of year

Can't do the toblerone. I hate the gritty bits in it. It's got to be straight chocolate for this black duck.

bugger commercial chocolate....make your own....a tonne healthier and way less Cals

2 cups unsweetened almond milk
4 frozen bananas (slice before you freeze)
6 medjool dates, pitted and soaked in the almond milk for 20-30 minutes
4 tablespoons raw cacao powder

blend all...put into serve sized cups...and store in the freezer until hungry!

OR

firm it up with a gelatin replacer, like agar agar.
2 tbspn agar agar
8 tbspn hot water
bring to boil & simmer for 5-10 min
meanwhile warm the banana mixture in a microwave...warm not hot...so the agar agar can diffuse through ingredients better.
mix agar agar and banana mixture while both are warm.

as ingredients cool, the mixture will set.
eat at room temp or freeze in serve sizes

Chocolate lovers will drool over this.

I think they'd need to redesign them to look like current AU cigarette packets if they really wanted to make any kind of impact.
Eg, "This is what your arteries look like after a lifetime of of high fat processed food" etc.
Even then the pull of chocolate may be too great for most.

I've updated my diet spreadsheet. I took the fibre out of the calorie calculations so it's now about 11% lower. That might explain something. Also this is now about the maximum I'd eat in a day rather than an average.

I've updated my diet spreadsheet.
There is an error in the above version with slightly too much protein for oats. I just learned than if you direct link in photobucket, you lose editorial power over the image. Even if you delete it, it still exists on the direct link. So the correction is below.

Also here are a couple of calculators you might find interesting. One is for estimated calories depending on weight and various levels of activity. The other is a body fat percentage estimator from measurements.

Also cycling as an athletic endeavor is only a hobby to me at the moment. I've got a job unrelated to cycling so naturally will be slower to adopt all this sports nutrition then if I was a full time athlete (all the food suggestions you people are suggesting seem to be full on for pros or the like).

Sounds like a pretty serious hobby to me.

Most athletes aren't fulltime athletes even though their training takes up large chunks of time.
The food suggestions are similar to advice given to anyone looking to clean up their diet, lifestyle and health athlete or not,
take a look at the biggest loser contestants, their trainers are always giving them advice for life to take with them once they leave the contest, none of them to my knowledge went on to be fulltime athletes yet the advice is still the same.
You don't have to be a fulltime paid athlete to be a serious athlete.

Ouch!

Still, that's better than 5 weeks ago when it was more like 24.0%. :oops:

To be expected. Many 'free' services like this just don't cut it in the long run re monetization. So the clever little owners get ever more devious. i.e. google, facebook, etc. Remember how innocent and altruistic google was when they first came out? Today they are probably the most profit motivated monopolistic sociopaths in existence. Am I being too harsh :)

Well, I am down another belt loop this morning. The belt is nice and comfortable on this new loop too. Not tight at all :mrgreen:

Maybe I should develop and sell the 'belt loop diet' where you measure your progress by dropping belt loops! :D

I didn't lose anything over Easter, probably because I increased my riding, and had a little more starch which probably refilled my glycogen stores.
Bouncing around in the low 80s at the moment...looking forward to stabilizing under 80kg. Feeling like a stiff drink at the moment, challenging afternoon in clinic....will try and stick to an apple on the way home rather than a bottle of cab sav.

Ha ha. Was thinking the same thought this morning. Bought a new belt back in November as I had run out of notches and noticed this morning the said belt purchased has now also run out of notches. [emoji1]

I had the shoo glue out a few weeks ago repairing the backing of a shorter 'leather' belt that had been in the wardrobe for years. I agree waist circumference gets down to the meaty business end of losing weight.
