Rode up to the old Ski Village today from Kelham Island.. what a beautiful day!

I used to go to allnighters here in the early 2000s .. namely NY Sushi or Phonetics .. watching the sun rise over the city was a sight to behold..

..man, i'm stuffed!

I'm most likely in a minority group of one and I'm almost sorry for saying it, , but to me that looks just disgusting.
Everything that's wrong with a diet,.

Everything that's wrong with a diet,.

..but it's not "a diet".. through the warmer months i eat overnight oats for breakfast made with 50% cows milk and 50% coconut milk, chia seeds, turmeric superblend, handful of almonds and pecans with blossom honey.. when the weather turns cold i switch to porridge with pecans, wallnuts, cashews, almonds, raisins and a sprinkling of cacao nibs..I haven't eaten lunch for 15yrs, then i eat an evening meal.. i weigh 11.5st and i'm 5'11"

That burger was delicious, last burger i ate was in Sicily back in August.. which was also delicious, i've never used a food app and the last time i went to Mcdonalds was sometime around 1995.. so please explain to me where i'm going wrong beacuse i'm not a dietition

so please explain to me where i'm going wrong beacuse i'm not a dietition

I'll have a stab at answering that. There was no cake or gateaux for dessert!

If I'm planning a ride, I'm looking for nice places to stop for a coffee.
I dream of croissants, but find Coffee on its own better cos i can focus on the astonishing flavours, and maybe pull myself back into calorie-defecit for the day.
I'd say it's 100x easier to gain a kilo than to lose one.
Those are actually gas lamps, still burning.

I love all the foods! I find it fascinating what other people eat especially if it’s not something I encounter every day. I’d give anything a try if you could tell me you find it tasty.

@Betsy ’s post brought back a relatively recent great memory of taking my daughter to the same joint for a special treat while at Uni there. Sharing food you all enjoy with people you love, one of life’s pleasures.

I get that (if you enjoy it *other foods are also enjoyable) eating that every day isn’t “healthy” but then if I did that I’d be posting this in a different forum, not one about the rides you’ve been out on!

Let’s not derail a great thread and maybe move liked/disliked plates of food somewhere else?

Can’t remember the last ride I did that didn’t involve cake mind.
