All sound advise above. Additionally, getting hungry between meals is not a bad thing. Calorie control, and the type of calorie is key to success. Don't overestimate the amount of calories burned in a workout, and don't gorge after working out, instead eat lean protien (tuna, almonds, etc).
On riding days and days with long workouts, properly fuel your tank. I am hypoglycemic and a competative runner and former AA racer, as such I have found that slower burning protiens such as brown rice and eggs burn slowly enough to keep my tank full for a long time (I eat this before a 5K or a half marathon, or on any riding day). Skip the pancakes and syrup and sausage.
Again, if you are eating 1500 to 1700 calories a day to loose or maintain weight, stopping off for a 1100 calorie 5-guys burger & fries or a 1000+ calorie beer and pizza feast, you will be derailing yourself. Another rule of thumb is this, brown food (rice and beans are exceptions) = bad, green food = good.
