One nice thing about long duration endurance stuff is that the massive calorie burns usually mean you can create a nice steady deficit and still eat a good amount of food. For enduros, twice per week in the weight room is usually more than sufficient, working full body in some fashion or another.

I am a 48 year old 6’4” 240 pound guy who travels 4 days a week and am an aspiring recreational road cyclist. As you know, cycling is all about power to weight ratio, so I’d be much better at 210 than 240. I’ve pretty much screwed myself by reading every diet book in print. Mostly I’ve followed a pretty low carb approach and lifting weights as seems to be currently popular. I look like a rhinoceros on a bicycle. I’m trying to find the appropriate approach for my goals. I’ve been burning about 3,100 calories a day as evidenced by my gowear fit arm band, except on days I’m on my bike then I’m in the 4,300 range. Is it just a matter of keeping a food log and being consistent over time? Up the cardio, weight 2 times a week instead of three? Lyle,
