Why does cycling make you so hungry. Do you eat loads all the time? I haven't done any other sport that makes you so hungry, costs a fortune!
I am permanently hungry, due to the amount of cycling I do.
I eat all good stuff.. but i'm a natural food intake lover.
I tend to snake on fruit (fresh and dried) during the day which helps keep the hunger pangs away.
do you 'rattle' about if you eat too many nuts?
or do you 'adder' your calories together

How much riding do you do? I try and get out every day for 2-3 hours
I'm with ianrauk, the cycling has me trying to put those missing calories back in, because I ride about the same distances. On the bright side, my weight hasn't fluctuated by more than 1-2kg over the last several years . My commute is about 1 hour 5 min to work and 1 hour 35 mins from work (total elapsed time), so over 13 hours a week.Why does cycling make you so hungry. Do you eat loads all the time?

Well, last year I guesstimated that my cycling and swimming accounted for about 500,000 calories. Which, roughly speaking, means that I don't really stop eating, other than when I sleep.
How did you get from 16 miles to 1000 calories out of interest?
I did 11 miles today, Strava calculated 400 odd which matches my usual 1 mile = 40 calories (I am no lightweight)!
