Hi it's Cattrails again...

I forgot to mention two other diet tips, healthy stuff of course. The best source of protien is actually made by nature, eggs! If you boil lots of eggs each week the whites are practically pure protein, just be sure to pop out the yolks, those are really high in fat. I often munch two eggs whites after riding to prepare for the little energy crash I get after a hard ride. They are not as filling as tuna or a shake so you need more to compensate before a ride, say 3-4 egg whites plus a carb food to fill you up. Those eggs make awesome midnight snacks too, without adding calories.

The other note I forgot to mention was don't overdo it on fruit, they are excessively high in sugar, the best to munch for weight loss are apples and water based fruits; watermellons, cantelope, strawberries... and also blueberries are high in antioxidants, they help get the bad stuff out of your system.

Okay, I just realized I've pretty much given you the basics of my own eating habits! Just try... some of this may work for you

Happy, healthy and worked out right!
