This is excellent thread. Just started riding (fat bike), and shedding a few pounds. Addressing caloric intake, via “lose it” app. Taking too many carbs, fats. Not enough protein (20%). Started taking more protein now, approx 40% protein and noticed difference in recovery. Also added resistance training 3x week with free weights too failure (4x15x7 exercises). One month into this, feel stronger, not losing much weight. However drinking 12+ glasses water/day. Love my Fatty..
