I have always been a big eater....I can easily each 2-3 times the amount of food during any meal than people I am eating with, and still finish first. However, I probably eat more in the morning than I do in the afternoon and evening. I don't have a weight problem, but because I have a huge appetite I watch what I eat very carefully. I minimize, but do not completely abstain from, cooking oils, cereal grains (including cereal grain-fed animals), salt, corn syrup, refined sugar, dairy, canned and pre-packaged foods. I eat lots of lean meat, game meat, wild fish, fruits, nuts, honey, and vegetables. I can't image going on a long hard morning ride without eating first. The empty stomach would make me ill.
