With the onset of earlier darkness and cooler temperatures and lots of rain (it's raining right now - has been all day
) I haven't been riding as much as I hoped. Consequently I have put on a few pounds thanks to my mid-morning snack(s).
I eat breakfast about 6:30-7:00 and lunch at 1:00, so would have a granola bar or some "high" calorie snack about 10:30-11:00. I've had to cut out the snack since my riding has dropped significantly.
Riding the trainer just doesn't provide the same calorie and fat burning workout as riding on the road.
<edit> Forgot to mention that I
sit in front of a computer for 8 hours a day. </edit>
