I'm with Ron, I'd up the protein. You don't wan to lose the muscle. And yes Behaze timing is crucial. After a hardcore work out, you have what is called the "golden hour". Your body is ramped up and its the perfect time to build or rebuild your muscle. Immediately after is best but you have an hour window. If your excercise is really that intense you may also want to consider some BCAA's and glutamine too. You may also want to carb up before that ride to give your body something else besides you to use for fuel. It doesnt seem like you'd be "hurt" if you had a day or so interspersed where you were "behind" but if you end the day behind, you start tomorrow behind and you are playing catch up. Just my opinion though. I can't even ride a bike :D

I'm trying to lose a little weight, so on most days I have a deficit of 500 cal or so. At least twice a week I'll do a long bike ride where I burn ~3000 calories. On those days, I have huge deficits. People have told me that on those days I should consume more, but do I really need to stuff myself?
