Given that cyclists at the top level have to consume about 6000 calories a day, yeah. However, this is not really what this is about. I tend to eat a light breakfast and lunch, and to a 1 1/2 hour ride in the late afternoon with nothing but water, and then I'm ravenous in the evening, which makes calorie control problematic, so I was curious about the whole "front loading" idea. In addition, like Nichols, I tend to do my weekly long ride eating only enough to stave off the Bonk. So I thought I'd try something different, and see whether it makes a difference in how hungry I am late at night and also how the last 20 miles of my 60 mile ride go.
