Here’s a follow up gang.
Over the past 3 weeks I have increased my intake to around 2400-3000 depending on kJ’s burned during rides. I’ve fueled during longer rides over 2 hours with ~150-200 kcal/hour. The training hours kJs burned during them has stayed the same.
I’ve lost 3.2 pounds (that is consistent and not water weight).
So…basically I’ve increased my caloric intake by around 500 kcal and LOST weight. I expect that this is going to continue and potentially accelerate as my body realizes it doesn’t need to hoard fat stores.
I’ll follow up again in a few weeks.
