Anyone else eat 'breakfast' biscuits whilst out cycling

[Soltydog]

Never been one for fancy energy gels/bars, as I'm more of a leisure cyclist & tend to rely on cake stops to fuel my rides But have recently taken to carrying a pack of breakfast biscuits in my pocket for when I feel the need to scoff. My current favoured biscuit is the Hovis malted crunch. They come in handy little packs of 4 biscuits & per pack contain approx 28g carb, 4g sat. fats & 5g protein. Not far off the values in a Clif Bar, but a damn sight cheaper at 5 packs of 4 for £1.
Anyone else use these to fuel cycling & any negative thoughts?

I regularly eat granola type bars when I stop and make a coffee. First choice is a coffee and BIG cake though

I like elevenses bars.

I like the Eat Natural nuts-and-things bars.
Far nicer than Powerbars and the like, and a bit more transportable than bocon rolls and cake, which would be my preferred mid-ride food option.
Chips are overlooked as a mid or post-ride recovery food IMHO.

My diet is very limited so I take a Kellogs low fat cereal bar or some Soreen malted loaf

Soreen malted loaf

But not the weird banana variety!

No, I like bananas but I don't like their banana malt loaf!

Bananas and welsh cakes for me. Sometimes a hotxrossbun or 2 in the Jersey pocket but haven't been out for any long rides in a few weeks now.

That banana loaf is just sick

Agreed, it's minging!

Mmm bananas

Malt loaf is great. Not tried the bananana variety, but I don't think I care to.

I've just checked my hidden stash, they're Nutri Grain granola bars. I've currently got a few in honey and a pack of cinnamon. They were 2 boxes for £3 in Asda. Lots cheaper than a mule bar and edible when swilled down with a hot brew.

Yum! I can't eat those though
I also love the soft fruity ones....can't eat those either. In fact, it would be easier to mention what I CAN eat
