Just curious what is everyone's daily eating habits and diets like.
What are you eating to make your benefits or not. Performance?
What changes did you do and what did you see get better? any differences? better or worse?
curious

what did you cut out in your diet that made a difference in betting bike performance? weight? etc? or your normal daily feel

Plain unflavoured oats is good. I eat them as my mid-morning snack about 3 hours after my breakfast... About 2 cups of cooked oats with 30 grams of whey protein and a tablespoon of nut or seed butter.

Breakfast = Nothing.
I find that when I eat breakfast, it's like an "ON" switch has been flipped and I want to eat everything all day long for the rest of the day. But if I don't eat breakfast, I am comfortable and happy.
That said, I do eat breakfast on weekends, especially before my rides.
And losing a whole bunch of weight improved my performance.

Non omnino gravis
Big 'ol bowl of Raisin Bran Crunch w/ 1% (330kcal,) Monday through Saturday. Sunday gets pancakes.
If the day's ride (Mon -> Sat) is going to be over 2 hours in duration, I will usually have peanut butter and honey on a carb of some sort-- a biscuit, some toast, a tortilla, whatever.
Post-ride, whatever. I burn ~45kJ/mi, so my "average" ride burns in excess of 1,600kcal.

I get up early but hate to fix breakfast, so I usually opt for a protein bar or protein shake first thing. Then a few hours later go for the real food, and that varies all over the place, though I try to eat lots of protein and veggies.

One or two hard-boiled eggs and a piece of fresh fruit, usually a banana (about 6am). I strive to eat every 3 hours or so, but the meals are pretty small and simple. I love snacking on fruit, nuts and I always keep cans of tuna and hard-boiled eggs handy. Usually my biggest meal of the day will be baked chicken and rice. Just depends when I am hungry for it.

Typical
Breakfast: Protein Bar
Brunch: PBJ or PBH
Lunch: depends, too often something quick at a fast food. Or could be tuna sandwich w/ fresh veggies. Today was a large fresh tamale from the local farmer's market
Afternoon: Apple, Milk
Dinner: Usually something home cooked. Not picky but trying to add fresh veggies to the mix.
Dessert: Always! Trying to keep portions to a reasonable roar.
The change I've made was a year or two ago. I tracked my "Macros", protein, carbs, and fat for a couple of weeks. Decided I needed to up the protein a little.
My weight was rising slowly as well. Around 190 then. So I decided to start cooking my own meals more and eat out less. And incorporate fresh veggies into my lunch and dinner as much as possible. It's not hard but it's so easy to decide to skip the cooking and go out for a quick bite.
BTW: My weight is around 170 and holding the last couple of months. Which is good for me. Crossing my fingers.

My typical breakfast is cold brew coffee (black).
I feel so much better, whether I'm working a desk job or working out, without worrying about digesting first thing in the morning. I just get my calories later, starting at lunch (or during/immediately after a workout depending on the day). Usually some rice and vegetables, then mixed nuts or yogurt for a snack. Dinner varies - it could be a salad and chicken breasts, or a bag of tortilla chips and jar of salsa because I've been having some cravings lately! Ha!
My diet has changed quite a bit over the years, from when I was a young kid racing to recently (switching over to the coaching side). But what has remained the same is that what works for one person might not work for someone else.
