Your not burning any 1100 calories riding 20 miles! Stop kidding yourself that you can gobble down more crap if you ride a bicycle. Go back to your old eating habits and bicycle for the fun of it.... and stop eating EXTRA for cycling.
Problem fixed.... your welcome.

Now that's funny!
Cycling has increased your metabolism. After being somewhat sedentary for awhile, this whole cycling thing comes as a total shock to your biological system. Your body has now gone into the "energy storage" mode, as it slowly rations tiny energy packets "ATP's" to your cells. It's trying to store the extra energy it feels that you're gonna need for more physical exertion.
Just keep cycling and eat dinner immediately after cycling. Never eat after 7:30pm.
