Eat a good breakfast, stop for a snack from a roadside market after a couple hours of riding, stop for lunch from a grocery store in the town you're cycling through, stop for an afternoon ice cream, stop for the night ... eat crackers and cheese before putting up the tent or getting settled for the night ... eat dinner after setting up the tent and getting settled for the night.
Damned! I never had such luxuries on my tours. No wonder, I loose lots of weight touring, while eating about twice as much as I do normally. May be I should rethink, and eat ice creams and desserts only. To hell with complex carbs and fibres. BTW, I bulk up with heavy weight training, in preparation for a long tour.
