I slept hard last night, it was a challenge to get up this morning. Couple that with yesterday's riding fatigue, I'm wondering if I'm not getting enough calories.
This week's meal plan fell a bit short of 2000 calories each day, which is substantially lower than I generally get. I've tried to add snacks to compensate, and I haven't felt super hungry...
Way back in my youth, I hiked the Muir Trail. I spent 30 days in the Sierras and hiked over 220 miles. Every night I slept about 11 hours, going to bed when it was dark (around 9), and waking up around 8. About two thirds the way through my hike I got really tired and took one of my rest days early - choosing to do so because I fell asleep sitting on the side of the trail.
After the trip I found that I'd lost 30 pounds - a pound a day. No wonder I was tired, I was operating at a huge calorie deficit.
I don't think I'm at that point, but I think I might be under eating.
Blood sugar: 84.
