Speaking of which, I rode on Zwift last night, did an hour in "London", including going up Box Hill. I pushed reasonably hard, got a PR on Box Hill. Also briefly held the Green Jersey. Briefly as in, for a few minutes.
Still, it motivated me to push really hard on the sprint when it came around again, and I managed to do exactly the same time, with a higher average power. I'm guessing that I was going faster when I hit the start line the first time around.
After the ride, I found that both my bibs and my jersey were wringing wet. That's with two fans on high. I'm curious whether I sweat as much on the road and it just evaporates, or do I sweat less on the road. It wasn't terribly hot in the garage.

My hands and feet can’t tolerate anything much below freezing for more than an hour or so even with fancy gear.

Now here’s a typical example of undernourishment. For lunch today I had a sausage sandwich. Im topping that off with some yogurt followed by some pear sauce. Normally that would hold me till dinner. But if I want to gain a little weight maybe I should make it two sausage sandwiches, or maybe a half a chicken.

must not be raining in your Dallas…….
Weather turned me off, heading to Mellow Johnies Now, wife gave me the okay to buy stuff, and then I plan on doing intervals and then a longer ride on zwift.
One thing I don’t get about zwift. I’ll keep an average speed of let’s say 18 but yet an hour later i’ve only gone like 12 miles. I know the last two days i’ve done a lot of climbing but it just seems off to me.
Also my load seems way off on intervals.
with that being said I don’t have a fan, so I have not been pushing it too much. I have the ac on 58 and I over heat relatively quickly.

Breakfast is the hardest meal to add variety. I had just a heaping bowl of oatmeal today complete with raisins, craisins, and fresh blueberries.
Totally lame, I know, but you can’t eat eggs every day, I had eggs and sausage with some buttered toast yesterday.

No that's not it. I'm looking for suggestions to break out of old eating habits for awhile.
My question is how do *I* approach 2600 cals/day. We can't compare you and I activity-wise or metabolism-wise, you're 30 years younger than me.
What you can do is tell me what quality foods you're eating to achieve 3500 cals/day.

Didn't you say you were doing keto? If so, my macros are going to look significantly different and not applicable to what you're looking to achieve.

Oatmeal day for me to. Raisins, craisins, walnuts, and almond milk. Had fresh pineapple and blueberries on the side. I've been on a fresh pineapple kick for so long now, a can of pineapple would be the very last can I opened if stranded on a desert Isle with a variety of canned food.

Also, was this a categorized ride or anything like that? The few times I've paid attention to the course/climb/sprint leader boards, the podium has seemed pretty well out of reach.
I don't wear a shirt on the trainer, but I'm the same - very sweaty inside but typically dry(ish) outside. It's totally evaporation outside - on those hot, multi-bottle rides, it's not unusual for my dark jerseys to be visibly crusty by the time I get home.

Two years in a row I had chicken fried steak and a biscuit with sausage gravy at some point during rides from Ione, WA to the Sandpoint, ID area. The rides were 100+ and 92, respectively. I could get away with that in my 30s.

And what's with the oatmeal, sandwiches (with bread, presumably) and toast? I thought that you said you were on keto? Or are these some funky keto-friendly concoctions?

As a timed sprint section approaches, a list of current leaders will pop up on the left side of the screen. You can get a good judge of its length by the times posted. A 15-20 sec effort, I know I can go all-in from line to line. If it's longer than that, I'm going to need to meter my effort.

This is another confirmation why I will probably live in So Cal for the rest of my life.

I split my day with the ride too. I had to wait for the Amazon delivery. 86A and low humidity at the end.

Hey datlas - do you have a Danish dough whisk? Mine just arrived today and I'm unreasonably excited about it. Looking forward to upping my bread game.

Had to order my mellow johnies jersey, they didn’t have anything in my size.
Get to go pick up a mountain bike tomorrow….

Who says you can't have eggs every day? I love eggs - I have two (organic, free-range, vegetarian-fed, day spa-pampered) eggs and oatmeal for breakfast (almost) every day!
And what's with the oatmeal, sandwiches (with bread, presumably) and toast? I thought that you said you were on keto? Or are these some funky keto-friendly concoctions?

I love eggs too, had it virtually every day while ketoing,* but that gets old after awhile.
* new word alert.

correct, I said the last two days I did a lot of climbing.
Today isn’t going the way I envisioned. So I might do a short interval session followed by some cruising around low key. I want to avoid climbing today. I tried to get on again last night just to do zone 1 pedaling and my legs were like, No bro.
Box hill is an ass hole.
