replacing calories

[Wester]

I now have my main meal in the middle of the day instead of late in the evening and the change in my fitness levels has been unbeliveble I now cycle home from work as fit as a greyhound .

View attachment 39194 Porridge is the answer to almost everything. It's blooming good for you in a whole lot of ways and it tastes wonderful (after a while). I discovered it about two years ago and it has transformed my life. 40 grams of porridge and 270 grams of semi-skimmed milk cooked in a big plastic bowl in the microwave on high for 3 mins. I don't add anything but others add the whole of The Vale of Evesham.

porridge is the only thing for breakfast! i love it
got to have linseed sprinkled on top and honey and a dollop homemade apple compote !

Yes Ed you need to eat all 658 calories back otherwise your muscles will disappear

Are you underweight? If yes then eat more. If no, then carry on with what your doing.
Do you lack energy as a result of your 15 mile commute? If yes eat more. If no, then carry on with what your doing.

No need to overthink this.

fair enough just do what feels right then?
Cheers Ed

Total agreement here !
Just to throw something else in there......A pint of milk after a good ride/workout is great for muscle recovery. It's got everything you need in there.
On the subject of milkshakes, I tend to make my own.
Milk (pint)
Generous squirt or dollop of honey
Banana
And a little sugar
Blitz in a blender = DELICIOUS
saw it in cycling active magazine about 4 months back

Looks good although I don't have honey so may try it with golden syrup!

Sugar wasn't in the ingredients list when I read the article as honey is sweet enough I would have thought. .......but I have a sweet tooth

We had a 15 year old stay with us once and our ears became attuned to the fridge door opening under the cover of darkness as we lay in bed, it was a nightmare and there was never enough milk for the coffee in the morning no matter how much we bought.
Water is full of calories young Ed - trust me on this.

There is a joke in there somewhere, see if you can spot it before I feel compelled to explain.
A clue: paying for a 15 year old appetite is expensive.

Make the best of this while you are young. I couldn't put weight on for love nor money and that stayed until I hit 30. Then it all went down hill fast.

I am the same at the moment, and I will be 30 in 2 months. I never stop eating, especially chocolate, I've even been lazy the last couple of weeks and not cycled everyday (I'm using the excuse of recovering from falling off lol), but I still lose weight. I need to put on about 5lbs

don't worry you don't really really need to put on 5lb
i have a mate of my age who is going for military school selection and he has passed every test physically like height and strength etc but is so much uinder weight so he has 1 month i think it is to put on i forget how much weight!

Oh I'm sure a big slice of cake will cover your expended calories and then some.................
