Yeah pretty much. Still, never saw the point in vitamin pills; I mean the Clif bars are pretty fantastic, they contain tons of vitamins, but even without that... food, you know? That stuff you eat to stay alive? Unless your life is fluffy non-enriched white bread and chocolate chip cookies, you should be getting what you need.
I could do with a few more fajitas though. Tomatoes and lettuce and green peppers and fried onions and beef and sour cream and flour tortilla and cheese...not much missing, unless you can figure out how to stuff a bacon cheese burger with fried mushrooms in there. Ooh, that's a good idea... I should pick up some portobella caps and make burgers.
I started eating 3 times as much when I started biking and I lost weight anyway. Now I'm gaining weight, but still getting skinnier. Strange world. Bicycles are magic.

My round trip is 15-18 miles depending on route.
You win. I've gone 47 this WEEK.

I don't know if it is a choice of cadence, wattage, or fitment, but it shouldn't hurt to bike.
Yeah, Sheldon Brown says not to start off and immediately do cross country running, try 1-2 miles nice and easy a day... I started off on 8 mile commutes through hills.
