Fuel the Fire

After five weeks of base training, my metabolism has really kicked in. Unfortunately I haven't successfully made the jump in calorie intake. In the beginning I was fine. I had a few "extra" to burn. Using FitDay, I can see what I'm burning, what I'm consuming and when and how I would lose or gain weight. The trend the last week or so has been down. Burning more then consuming, the weight goes down. Being already at a decent weight, down isn't exactly good, and I've started to feel the effects. The rides to and from work have been sluggish and weak. I skipped last nights ride because of it. Some would call this burnout and they would partially be right.

My nutritionist friend here at work confirmed my suspicions and prescribed the fix. More food, about 1,000 calories more a day should get me back on track - especially if base is supposed to continue and increase.
