Eating less f*cking food

I weighed myself this morning - 107.5kg!

Just after starting this thread, when you got batteries in the scales, you were 103.9kg :oops:

As I said before, flattish gravel doesn't do much more than conditions your ass. Unless you were going from sofa to doing exercise, which you weren't as an already established rider with a level of bike fitness. Shorter length rides with elevation will be far more beneficial than flat distance.

Get up that Pipeline :cool:

 
Omelettes have bread?

Hell, yeah. I present to you my 'Omelette du Schwank' which is its European title.

This accompanies the big bowled vegetable smoothy AKA 'Green Latte' that I picked up in my travels. Stops me feeling hungry till late morning or early afternoon on good days. Stopping the scourge of Fat Bastardry is a full time job :)

Cut up bread and lightly fry it for a bit of crispy action then add 2-3 eggs and cook low and slow for about 5 minutes. Cut with the pizza cutter and add some Kewpie or spicy Kewpie.

I am a man of fine Omelettes apparently.

A lot of food has been consumed in that time!
 
With no riding for 3 months from a wrecked knee ( surgery 4 weeks ago), I put on a cheeky 12 kg.
Jpez's post above struck a cord & Sunday saw me meal prepping for the 1st time in 20 years.
Pretty much the same strategy as Jpez & I'm 2kg less after 2 weeks.
Aiming for 98kg.

Been out for 2 months, 8kg gains. Can confirm the same rate of weight gain lol.
Fuck me, that's some serious weight gain.
Not being nasty but what do you eat.
I got on the weed for about 3 months and was ramming down bickies and lollies left right and centre and gained about a kilo.
And I forgot the home made apricot pies and pastries

You don’t need to brag garbage guts ahaha.

Fuck I’ve not looked at scales in awhile, I go off sag numbers. Thought I was doing alright after xmas cause I had to punch a new hole in the belt but damnit I needed a few turns of preload on the bikes so I guess the belt just stretched.

Fucksake. Chucked a sickie and went spearing for the first time in forever, a couple of flathead for the freezer and a cheeky kingfish for dinner (I made a decent day of it and hit a few spots) so I guess it’s time to hit the breadless pescatarian diet for awhile.
Good excuse to spend more time in the water atleast.

I don't particularly have a very clean diet, but it's pretty high energy. According to my watch I'd average 3200 cals a day (fairly active, riding most days, gym on alternate and/or running). I just ate at the same rate I would maintenance. It was flipping hot and I was in a stinky cast, I just sat there on the couch with full air con. My base calories went from about 2600 per day normal (not focused exercise) to about 2k. But i was eating for a 3.2k cal day.Yeah it's dumb but it is what it is.

Would go something like:
10am - coffee, 2 hardboiled eggs, cake slice (during my injury I couldn't cook or make coffee so it was a full cafe brekky)
1pm - massive lunch, coke
2pm coffee, cake or chocs
4pm - snack of some sort
6pm light dinner with kids, like roast with veg or normal dinner stuff

10pm - get hungry again (usually after workout) and something like instant noodles to kfc bucket lol.
10.30 something sweet to follow - it's my kryptonite.

Yeah plenty to cut, not gonna lie. But I was a miserable sucker and more importantly bored out of my brains.

Not eating after dinner time would make a big difference.

I'd be interested to see what my calorie intake actually was per day.
For a work day (as this is more regular)
5:30am: 4-5 Weetbix and milk for breakfast (it's quick and easy)
10am: an apple, protein bar, protein yoghurt.
1pm: Wholemeal wrap with tuna, egg, cheese, rocket and spinach, muesli bar.
5pm: Protein shake if I have ridden to work
6pm: dinner, varies a lot but usually a meat with vegies or salad with maybe an icecream for dessert.
Only drink water throughout the day. Might have a glass of sugar free lemonade when I get home.

Seems to work for me. I'm 180cm tall and around 72kg and my weight really doesn't change more than 1 to 2 kg.
Riding and average of 150 to 300km per week keep me pretty fit and the excess weight off.
 
Seems to work for me.
Yeah thanks. I kind of know what to do, just have to do it now. Cast is off so can at least run/walk/stationary bike to balance it up a bit, but the eating side will have to shift if I want to shift this weight. I used to be able to just do a mega multi day ride to make up the difference but not able to do that now.
