Hi, started an 800 calorie per day diet. It includes all the protein, vitamins etc I need. I am type 2 diabetic with a h1ac of 51.
I'm 6'2 and 99kg and looking to get to 88kg ish.

So far, diet is going fine. But, I mountain bike quite a lot. Fairly fit. A typical day riding can be usually 4-5 hours and nearly 2000 calories burned. I haven't ridden since going on the diet a week ago. On the days I go for these big rides, should I have an extra banana or two? I will go over 800 calories, but I'm burning a lot on those days.

I dont take any diabetes meds, just statins (I'm 45) below is my graph for yesterday which is typical since I started the diet.
