also, I think the "eat every two hours" thing is bull. personally, I find it leads to me overeating a ton. I actually practice a mild form of intermittent fasting, and I fast for a minimum of 12-16 hours every single day. I do all of my morning workouts/rides fasted, and never eat anything substantial within 2 hours of a ride less than 30 miles. If I do it's some form of sugar, like a banana or small piece of chocolate and some light agave nectar and water on the ride.

I find this makes my digestion and "movements" much more regular. personally when I eat as much and as often as you are, I also feel extremely bloated all the time. let yourself empty out for a bit and you might feel better lol!
