Help With Diet..

[Boon 51]

I think I will need some help working out an eating plan for myself as I'm losing weight.

The problem started when I got my Garmin 200 and put it onto the computer this week, my wife looked at the data and said I used over 1000 calories on my last ride (36kms off road on mountains) and on checking my weight I have lost 5/6 lbs over the last few weeks and being on the slim side this is a slight worry. I'm 5' 10" and was 10st 10lbs but that is now down to 10st 4lbs.
My general health is OK but I do have pancreatitus which slightly governs what I eat as I can get constipated if I eat doughy bread and my body doesn't tolerate too much dairy/ full fat milk. Having said that I do eat ice cream and a bit of chocolate which seems to be OK,
As my fitness improves so will my milage, I've done 40 miles with no problem but as I want to do a lot more but I need an eating plan to suit.
I dont think my diet is too bad but perhaps I should add a few things here and there to keep the calories up.

Can you help?

A visit to a dietician ?

Take the Garmin values with a pinch of salt, I would take 2/3rd's of the value (arbitrarily choosen, but seems to be about right when I compare with other means).

If you lost weight, then question, did you cut down on food intake, consciously or not? Increase in activity? Any changes in what you eat?

I've been riding a bike for four months and the first two months I was just riding about and getting fitter, and my weight was about the same, but the last two months I've got faster and do more milage so the weight loss I would think is down to extra activity..
So I need to tweek my diet a little so I stop the weight loss.
I've not cut down on my food intake and my diet is what I normally eat.

Thats a good idea for starters..

I never really knew what flapjacks were when I saw them discussed here. Here a flapjack and pancake are the same thing. I am going to the grocery store and get me some oatmeal and Google some UK flapjack recipes.

I know that might not be the smartest move I could make since I am trying to lose weight, but in your case, it may be something to consider.

Best flapjacks I've ever tasted, and so simple even I can make them

I think the issue is Boon is already thin but getting thinner?

Eat more or ride less

Blimey I want to ride more not less.


I could cut down my riding to 100 mile a day... only joking.

Then eat more, not less
