It seems counterintuitive, but it is something I have had to really keep an eye on. That ability to easily keep off the weight can at times be a bit of a headache.
I agree with you...I have the same problem. And when I come in from a ride hungry....I'm always thinking of carbs or sugar to satiate me, never healthy stuff. I weighed 130lbs when I had my heart attack six years ago and looked great for my age...but almost died because my cholesterol was sky high.
