Loaded touring: I've always wanted to eat well when we would go cycle-touring on our own for several wks. And do 50-100kms. each day. I have found that I would only eat a good lunch, then 1-2 small snacks if I already had a good substantial breakfast. Hunger is not the right word (for me). It was just having enough energy to keep me going.
The strange thing now is that I eat basically the same amount but doing only 60% of the cycling mileage this year compared to previous years. But I haven't gained any weight.
Probably because I cut out my bread intake by 75% in past 10 months.
