So because of life today, I didn't eat breakfast. Around noon, I took my blood ketones; 5.7, well into ketosis. Indeed, rather past simple dietary ketosis and into therapeutic territory. Around 1300, I finally got a chance to eat, some 16 hours after I had last eaten. I wasn't really hungry, but I'm not sure I'm fat adapted to the point that it's safe to go for long periods without food. But now that I've had dinner, I'm looking back at my daily log and seeing that I've eaten fewer than 1200 calories today, despite having burned over 2,600. I don't feel hungry at all; if anything, a little over full. I've felt that way a few times over the past week or so, even though several days I've fallen short of my calculated fat intake. I'll have to revisit the calculations and modify them; I don't want to lose strength training progress from insufficient protein, but the current models simply have me consuming too much food.
Tomorrow is my first proper brick, with a very short rest between bike and run. I'm hoping for around a 15 mile bike, and then a 3-4 mile run. We'll see how it goes; I'm not going for time, just completion.
