I don’t think I have lost my gut. I wondered if I have been doing anything wrong? My computer usually indicates that I have consumed about 600-1000 calories from riding bike everyday. I just don’t know why I am still maintaining the same weight. I eat the same portion of dinner as before; the only change is I will eat more rice for lunch to prepare for my evening ride. I am about 6 ft tall, and a little bit chubby. I feel like I should be able to lose at least 10 or more pounds. Can anyone please let me know if you have the same problem? If you do, how can you lose weight?
I usually ride at 6-7:30 at night, I wondered if I should have dinner right after I ride or should I wait 30 mins to an hour before I have dinner? I have read from somewhere that after a person swim (exercise), he/she should wait for 30 mins to eat; if not, the body will store extra fat in case of hunger again. My question is, when should I have my dinner?
Flat miles or hill miles? If those are flat miles your computer is doing you no favors with its estimate of calories burned.
