Also don't have bread in the house. Have alternatives like rice cakes, rye bread and rivita. Enough to stop you going to the shops but not as nice as a Walbertons.

Quid a box, 11kcal per stick and quite tasty.

Ton
not unknown for me to eat a large warburtons loaf in a day.

Lightweight! I've done 4 loaves in a day 😳 😳

Couldn't poop for sooo long 😯

Hang on - this isn't a competition, is it...

The bread thing is interesting; Gail's Bakery is a place of wonder, but has to be avoided 99% of the time.

So what I am hearing is Autumn/Winter chub club is a go?

Get on it Jon

....or. MFP group maybe.

I'm pretty sure he's had enough of being the poster boy for the resident heavyweights/eating disorders r us society. I just had a peek at MFP and they're tied in with Under Armour*, so that's a no-go for me.

I'll take a look at doing it in google sheets -> google analytics; should be pretty easy, I think.

Edit:*Connection to big game hunting

This, mostly. I do have particular difficulty between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00-ish. No idea why.

I do that and I have no excuse. I do however have a big fat belly.
I'm also veggie which theoretically is a better diet full of the right sort of things, but turns out to also not rule out of crisps and bread and ting. 🙁

Carrot sticks and houmous, pumpkin and sunflower seeds - these work for me as snacks but what I really need is harsh discipline.

With me I think it's wheat rather than just bread. I really struggle to resist pasta and pastry too.

I have the same problem with bread and pasta. Cannot resist anything that isn't good for me. It is particularly bad when tired, busy or stressed at work. Cycling really helps but is difficult with kids and work.
Managed to shed 1.5 stone but stuck now and can't seem to move further down. Mainly managed this by cutting down on snacks and protein sizes. As much as I dislike Facebook it popped up with a photo memory from 2 years ago with a my proper pie face. Hopefully this will nudge me off again.

To the OP - may I suggest trying protein shakes? They are sweet, yummy and very filling, and contain little carbohydrate.

Also noticed that the OP does not drink much or consume much carbohydrate during rides. This makes me freaking starving. I find that taking on carbs during riding and immediately after (doesn't need to be the suggested 60g/hour though, I usually do half that) then stops me craving food later. If I don't do this, I tend to get very bingey.

If you tootle or even pootle, this may not be a factor, but the OP definitely pushes himself and is in it for the fitness.

I suggest you book a week on Majorca with me early May. The target is there to keep fitness ... and fit into your summer kit too.

Now, that would be cool. I'll check with Mission Control...

Sometime around this time of year I usually start knitting. It takes so much concentration I can't drink and knit, and it keeps my hands too busy to eat. The downside is that I can't watch any Scandi Noir / anything with subtitles as I need to look at my knitting. And I'm basically crap at knitting so I end up with a lot of scarves. Or hats that don't fit. But it does stop me eating constantly.

If you simply have to eat, how about plain popcorn? Pop it yourself and don't add any flavours and it keeps you busy without consuming loads of calories. Massive bags of popping corn are available for very little money from our local Asian supermarkets.
