You have discovered that exercising makes you very hungry. I think that most will agree with you as I do. I try to limit my exercising to the point that I don't get the very hungry and very weak feelings. I seem to lose weight better by being a little hungry all the time as opposed to being very hungry and then eating until I am no longer hungry. It seems that this fat burning process is very slow and maybe it should be called a fat smouldering process.
So I agree with you that riding too much can hinder your weight loss goals by making you too hungry.
