fatness

Wow. There were times in the past when I felt like I lost weight during hard training when I actually ate more than normal. Is there a summary for the Master's crowd that could be assimilated from this thread? Seems like age, family and professional issues complicate the reality as well. In my own personal case, maybe as with others, I have odd workout times - before work (shower, rush to the office, stress, stress, stress) and late (8:30 - 9:30 at night). One requires eating on the run from the food court, the other requires eating before (but not too much and early enough...) but I wonder if I should eat other strategies rather than go to sleep exhausted and possibly undernourished or eat a cheap breakfast. Would like to lose 20 lbs, swimming from 15,000 - 19,000 yds/wk over the last year and a half has not made one dent in my weight. But I am in better shape and swimming faster. Opinions welcome, this thread is fascinating. Thanks, DV
