I’ve always found the opposite to be true but YMMV. My periods of weight gain have always resulted from eating out of boredom; the cycling I do (25 to 50 miles per day) improves my mental state and I don’t feel the same urge to constantly snack.
Dude that’s 2-4 hours a day! I’m jealous of how much time you have that you can spend cycling! I have to do my rides after the kids go to bed so that limits me to about 2 hours before it gets too dark in the summer to safely keep going on the rural trails
I’m a school bus driver! It’s a great gig because on school days I have plenty of time for a 25 mile ride between my morning and afternoon runs, and on weekends and in the summer I have enough time for a 50 every morning.
Maybe you could tow your kids in one of those deathtraps some people use? I dunno, kids always look so fucking miserable in those things.
Omg chicken lady! I didn’t read your username! Im still keeping school bus driving in mind as a backup career based on one of your earlier comments about it!

I actually do do that! The kids love riding in the trailer but they’re rapidly outgrowing it, plus I live somewhere super hilly and that much rolling resistance and added weight is really hard to get more than a couple of miles with, except my kids are too small for most kid bikes and I can’t seem to get them to build any confidence once I do have them on bikes that they fit. They’re a really tough combination of sizes, ages, confidence and motor control levels that just makes biking shockingly hard for them right now

Are you doing this volume at high intensity, aka Zone 4/5? It’s a quite significant volume to be doing at that level of vigorous intensity.
But there’s for sure individual differences here. High intensity efforts do provoke hunger for me, but the same may not be true for you!
