Nutrient timing makes no difference to fat loss

Maybe you really just need the extra calories? 10 hours of exercise per week is a lot.

It is???

I aim for a minimum of 50 hours a month ... preferably more.

(I just averaged my hours of exercise over the past 11 months, and my average is slightly over 50 hours a month

And yes, you do have to eat at least some of your exercise calories back.

When I was losing weight ...

If I'm only exercising a little bit, like maybe an hour's walk, I might eat about 50% of my exercise calories back.

If I'm exercising a moderate amount, like perhaps a 2 or 3 hour bicycle ride, I might eat about 75% of my exercise calories back.

If I'm exercising a lot, like 6+ hours on the bicycle, I'll aim to eat about 95% of my exercise calories back.

After the kids go to bed. I just want to eat everything in sight that I told them they couldn't eat.

My hardest time is in the evening as well. I have really bad impulse control so what works for me is to not have any snack foods in the house at all. If I need something for my sweet tooth I have to get dressed and leave the house (not likely) or settle for tea with honey.
