I am 46
took off of riding for 15 years
I decided I needed to get some excercise again so The only excercise sport i enjoy is riding.
I am
5'7'
190 lbs
Started riding more in may this year and increasing distance and frequency monthly
I am trying to do 12-20 miles a day 5 days a week with a 30 mile day in there somewhere most day are around 14miles
At map my ride i log my miles and sometime nutrition.
According to them ( i do ride at decent pace throwing in some intervals 2-3days a week.) i am burning 600-900 cals a day
I should be eating 2800 cals
last few time i used the utriation calculator I am below the 2800 cals.
Not loosing weight, I do believe i am gaining muscle back from years of light excersise.
My riding is getting stronger but still not loosing weight.
I am eating 10 time s better tahn i used to
Cut out all junk food replaced with nuts fruit etc.
tuna sandwiches insted of lunc meat
broiled chicken
pasta, salads, less red meat overall drastic change in the make up of my diet and amount I am consuming.
So my question is what am i doing wrong ( i am not oosing weight) some people notice i am a little thinner.
Is this a correct theory or am i way off.
My riding requires 2800 cals
I am eating less than that, so is my body storing fat or am i still coverting fat to muscle still and eventually the fat will start to come off.
