Just an FYI, unless you are averaging 22mph, solo, on your 22mi ride, you aren't burning a ton of calories. Assuming an 18mph pace, you're probably burning about 400 calories.
For more perspective:
"Lobster dinner w/ lots of bread and stuff" is probably around 1500 calories. Lobster and bread = lots of real butter, too. Each small slice of bread at a restaurant has about 130 calories in it, at least.
"a small candy bar, then ate dinner at a restuarant (Salmon, vegetables, potatoes--no bread at that one though--but when I got home I was hungry again so I had 3 bowls of cereal with honey on it.)"
3 bowls of cereal was probably half the box, right? Assuming it's healthy cereal is about 1300+ calories. Add to that the 250cal candy bar, 200cal salmon, 100 cal vegetables, and 600+ cal potatoes...
I'm surprised you aren't gaining weight...
You eat more than me, and I ride 16hrs/week (300+mi)
