update on am I eating enough.

Well here is a update and man is it wacky or am I wacky??
Anyway I tried eating more food mainly low carb to get rid of the sore muscles.
It helped some but I could not eat enough to stop it. Well I tired eating fruit
like I used too. 3 pieces of fruit twice a day. All the leg soreness is gone.
But my rides suck they are slow and my legs feel tired if I try to push them at
all. This is exactly how it used to be.
I tried three pieces of fruit for breakfast and a couple scoops of protein
powder the first time. The morning ride was ok. I had three pieces of fruit a
couple hours before leaving work and the ride was slow as molasses.
So today I had a couple pieces of fruit with protein powder (a orange and a
grapefruit) and then had a light breakfast (small sausage patty and one egg.
(been riding well on that minus the fruit) Well the ride was even worse. No
soreness but I could not push at all.
So I had my usual lunch without any fruit and the ride home was far better.
It seems fruit slows me down. If I eat it even two hours before the ride it
hurts the ride. So I will try fruit at night and maybe fruit after my ride in
the morning. I will keep up the low carb meals but I will start playing with
what I eat for lunch.
It seems what I have for breakfast affects my morning ride and really affects
the evening ride. But if I have a larger breakfast I can get away with less for
lunch.
But in all of the time I was overeating to try to solve this problem I lost
two pounds. Now don't' that beat all.
So I wonder and I burning so many calories or is my body still really
inefficient at digesting the food? Since I am seldom really hungry I bet it is
my digestion.

It's great that you're riding a lot but I wouldn't try to push the
exercise into aerobic training, since low-carb and aerobics =
catabolic = lost muscle mass.

It could be just water loss. Make sure you measure at the same time
each day, with similar hydration levels (OOW drink more than enough
water all day), and keep a running average 3-4 daily measurements to
smooth out fluctuations.

I'd ask this question on a more sports-oriented group
(sci.med.nutrition), or do some more web searching.

eg:

http://www.slowtwitch.com/mainheadin...i/fluidq5.html

has some answers including complex carbs that seem reasonable to my
untrained eye.

that's the thing I am not pushing it. when I eat the way I am now I go faster
and I don't seem to work that hard. when I don't eat right I go slower and it
seems like a huge chore.

been hovering at the same weight for awhile. last time I was loosing weight when
I ate more I lost more. now seems to be the same.

the problem is I seem to be allergic to most carb sources. or atleast if I eat
them often. I don't know all of the details about that yet because I have to get
sick to see what ones my body does not like. Plus they don't seem to give me
energy right away I need several hours to get any energy from them.
I told you my body is wacky. so I have to eat low carb most of the time.
