During the day, I don’t snack, but I eat a light lunch at noon and then a good dinner at five. I feel better if I am slightly hungry most of the time.
Similar here. I feel bloated and sluggish if I eat a heavy breakfast or lunch. I do eat more if I have a longish ride the next day or the day of. In fact there have been times when I’ve even added a meal or two during the day if I’m doing multi day tours with big miles.
I lost 60 lbs by burning more calories than I was eating by riding plus reducing sugary foods.
