OK to be on the opposition I've got to put up the other perspective on food.

On tour I eat two oatmeal packs for breakfast with a protein powder serving about 50% of the time I'll stop for second breakfast at a diner of an omelette. For both lunch and dinner I'll have a pasta side each or soup or some other filling food along with bread or sandwiches. On a daily basis I'll try to stop at a local ice cream shop on my path to have a double scoop of ice cream. Please know I'm not exactly a fast I'm only moving 50 to 75 miles a day. On this diet I can easily be losing half a pound or more a day. However for a long journey you've got to think are you going to do if you lose weight like this. You probably already know if you are in such condition that you will simply lose weight like this. Please note I don't have the weight to be losing starting my last tour at 160 and finishing at 135. I don't bonk but I am not hungry, so don't eat more even as I know I am losing weight.

So for the cost of food it may be a lot higher then you plan, to stay on my budget I removed some money from the museums entrance tickets part of my plan for more food. Yes I feel bad about skipping the museums I wanted to see but it put the whole tour was in the budget.

I want to go on a year long tour but am double thinking this goal.

I spend between $10-$20 a day on food on average.
