If I ride 300 miles a month (~20 hours) I lose weight at the rate of about 3 pounds a month, that's on about 2000 calories a day. Days I don't ride I watch what I eat, staying under 1700 calories. At 200 miles a month I'll maintain weight. At 21 I rode 4000 miles in 60 days and lost 2 pounds...so intake control is important. You can lose weight if you are always hungry but if you feed the beast...better put in the miles. Farming kept me lean because I walked 6-8 miles per day. Desk work..ugh. Evening snacks will end any diet plan quick.
