Oatmeal has been my fuel of choice for a long time. Its easy to make nice sweet snacks too that are not messy and keep great if you cant get to a fridge.

Get a cup of Oatmeal (Regular Quaker stuff that looks like horse food) and throw it in a food blender to make a coarse flour. Put that in a cereal bowl with just enough milk to make a consistency like plaster of Paris. Then add a couple of spoons of natural honey and stir it in well. Put the sticky mix into a non stick fry pan with no oil. Tamp it down to about 8mm thick and put it on a low heat. Cook and flip and then slide it out of the pan (it should have been dry/stick enough that it should leave no mess at all) then slice it up like a Pizza and there you have about 4-500 calories of perfect biking fuel

I am down in fat, I dont know how much but when I lean to the side I now have a small roll instead of a 4" bar of solid flab. My legs have come back nicely too and feel solid again. I am on target for 6lbs of fat loss a month so that I dont lose my upper body size that has taken years to build.

This thread has been great for my motivation too, not that I am a shirker with exercise, but it does make me extra strict with myself.

If you guys are looking for a great place for protein I reccoment bodybuilding.com these guys are cheap as hell and fast with the shipping. I have no association with them other than being a very happy customer.
