    Riding a bike is one of the most energy efficient exercises there is. Meaning you don't necessarily burn a lot of calories doing it.

    You are kidding me right!

    Efficiency and amount of calorie burn has nothing to do with each other.

    While it might be easier for someone that really doesn't want to do it to go slower and less intense then they might do another exercise - biking burns more calories than you must be aware.

    Plus outside cycling is by it's nature very interval like, which increased the calorie burn.
    Also since it's not weight bearing it's actually easier to push yourself harder than you could say running.

    If you don't burn a lot doing it - then you need to pedal harder.

    Good idea on a bigger breakfast- I usually stick to 300 calories but I will up it to 500 :)

    Yes 500 at least. I'm your same size/weightactivity level and 800 works for me.

    I just looked at your diary- do you get hungry in the evenings? I see you eat the bulk of your calories in the morning and taper off. I find I'm hungriest in the afternoon, but maybe this would change if I ate more calories earlier.

    I do that in the summer because I work outside in the heat I sometimes feel nausious at night and prefer a smaller dinner.
