Way back in the LA days, a reporter asked Lance how he kept such close track of what he was eating. His reply: "It's written on the side of the box." I don't eat that way or know anyone who does so currently. Decades ago, T1 diabetics weighed everything they ate, looked up the nutritional breakdown, assigned a value. Is that what we're doing now if we eat natural foods?

I weigh myself every morning and go by that. BTW, I've increased my protein and am now slowly gaining weight. My scale says it's some muscle, some fat. I better ride more. I'm already eating about 1/4 of what I did in my 20s, don't really want to cut back much more. A lot of my protein comes from whey isolate, fewest calories that way.

Pouring down rain here, river's rising and our shop's going to flood, so no riding indoors or out for a few days. I don't find the stepmill at the gym to be that much fun. Oh well. Our apartment is several feet higher than the shop, so we're good there.
