This is going to come across very bluntly, but it is not meant to offend. The other day you were saying that you are no longer losing weight despite eating not a lot. That’s a lot of relatively unhealth food you’re eating there Ton.
..and perhaps have a read of the race weight thread I posted. Basically, I’m eating twice as much as you, but not all the shit you’re eating. so I’ll be healther despite eating 2500 cals per day and 3000 on ride days, I’m losing weight.
I use MFP to record my cals too. Pretty much the only good things you ate was your eggs, beans (tomatoes (assuming they are fresh and you didn’t fry them in oil)and the toast if it was wholemeal.
In summary of race weight, the things that’ll fill you up and are good for energy and weightlos wise are wholemeal and organic products, plenty of fruit and veg. Wholemeal really fills you up and is healthier.
Example, so far I’m at 1400cals (excluding the 1000 I lost from my ride) and have eaten:
Granola plus 2 slices wholemeal toast
Dates and natural Cereal bar
Wholemeal bagel with ham & salad
Recovery XS shake (post ride).
I wont get near 1000 with the dinner we have planned, but will be having a Biltong & Jarlsberg snack at 8.30 to compensate and get some protien in.
