replacing calories

[young Ed]

so i now commute 15 miles per day rather than my previous 4.5 and over this commute i burn about 658 calories should i be looking at replacing these calories with extra food?
an extra sandwich and a home-made snack bar/flapjack as well as my other 2 sandwiches and my fruit?
Cheers Ed

don't want to get hungry or not have enough calories so my body starts eating my muscles! not bothered about getting fat though as my life style and my healthy eating and my super super fast metabolism means fat is near on impossible for me!
i already eat about 2500-300 calories a day i estimate!

Very similar distance to my commute. I have porridge for breakfast, then either apples or tomatoes and two sandwiches for lunch. When I get back, I usually make some peanut-butter toast, or have English muffins with salad. Then in the evening I have something meaty. Usually a big plate of mince & pasta. It works for me.

Don't see the problem you're getting at there. Are 15 year olds banned from discussing moderately serious topics?

yay somebody sticks up for me! first time ever

calorie counting isn't only to watch your weight for me it is about watching i don't eat my own muscles and i don't get hungry meaning i lack attention at school and then i fail at school! so in other words calories have a direct link to the grades you leave school with!

Unless you're planning to lose weight, yes, definitely need to replace the calories!

I would go for a massive milkshake personally... protein in that too!

haha! great to have real life advice off a fellow student don't really do crisps though never really liked them, great source of lots of salt at the end of a long ride though! (longer than 15 mile!)
