Allowing for errors in measurement (bike apps are typically too generous, diet apps typically too conservative), I suspect the actual number is closer to 1500-1800. Fitness and weight loss has been my primary goal for 2 years, with cycling performance a secondary concern. So far so good, I feel and perform much better than I did 2 years ago, and my labs show dramatic improvements in my overall health.

But rather than a thorough analysis of my diet and weight loss, I really was just curious what most people ate or drank after a workout. I've noticed that eating something right after a ride seems to help me with fatigue and recovery, so I was interested in other peoples' experience.
