Aye well: "A typical adult – based on a 60kg woman doing an average amount of exercise – is advised not to consume more than 70g of total fat per day, 90g of sugars or 6g of salt."

How about an 75-kilo bloke burning 600 kcal/hour on a bike? Strikes me that all the "worst" sandwiches would make quite good fuel.
Have we got time for another cuppa?

I confess… I had a Whopper at an airport recently :oops: . Looking around at the motley collection of sandwiches and wraps on offer it didnt seem too bad. I didnt get fries though. Back on the bike today after 15 flights and many days of coach travel :D . Gotta shift that unwelcome 5lbs weight gain.

Reuse, recycle, to save the planet.... Auctions, Dump, Charity Shops, Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, Boots. Old House, and a Banger ..... And cycle as often as you can...... Every little helps!

3hrs on the bike today. 32miles done with 3,400ft of total ascent. According to my computer program, I'd consumed 1,500kcals.

I was starving hungry when I got back, so had a doorstep sarnie of tuna mayo followed by a whole 150g packet of chocolate raisins. 650kcals for the packet! YUM :D

What?
Me worry?
