After a month of no weight loss (I actually went up 2 lbs) I’m going to try a real diet. I have not paid close attention to diet for more than 4-5 straight weeks in a long time and I’m too old for that.
I’ve determined that most days I’m only getting 100-150 grams of protein which never really bothered me because I’m not concerned with building muscle anymore. However since I am getting 2,500+ cals daily that must mean my fat and/or carb intake is way higher than it needs to be. I’m going to trying sticking to a 40/30/30 protein/carbs/fat ratio(I do 80% aerobic training now) for the next 6 weeks and see what happens. If the changes are good I will stick with it longer. Maybe I’ll hit 225 by the Tour de France start.
I also put in an hour of hill intervals on the bike yesterday. I used some big gears too so I should go a little lighter today. Tonight I think I will do the stationary bike for 30 minutes at 70-75% max HR then 30 minutes on the treadmill and finish up with ab work.
