Tales from today's commute....

[wafter]

Another lovely morning, out fasted having managed to abstain since Saturday night.

Legs somewhat reluctant but I didn't feel particularly hungry; however I figured I could do with some protein after yesterday's excursions so pushed the boat out with three sausages - which today scored a solid 7.5/10.

Bus driver at the park and ride actually giving way to the cycle path got a wave of thanks, despite his slightly unnecessary waving of me across as if he was doing me a favour.

Not much else to report; fairly quiet and thankfully the bloody awful roadworks at the bottom of St. Aldates have been curtailed.

Back up the tow path with a light spot of pruning for another cracking car-free commute

Fine riding again, overcast but the forecast (and needed) rain held off.

Sausages as a source of protein I think you might be deluding yourself there. There will be more fat and carbs in them than anything else.

Sausages as a source of protein I think you might be deluding yourself there. There will be more fat and carbs in them than anything else.

According to this:

One pork sausage patty (27g) provides 88 calories, 5 grams of protein, 0.4g grams of carbohydrate, 0 grams of fiber, 0.3g grams of sugar, 7.3g grams of total fat, 2.4 grams of saturated fat, and 220 milligrams of sodium

Which translates into just under 20% protein (comparable to cod while chicken is 25-30%), 1.5% carbs and 30% fat. The fat doesn't bother me as much as carbs would as it's what I'm mostly running off currently and I'm managing to lose weight at a modest rate.

Perhaps a big bowl of Sugar Puffs would be a better proposition...?

Given how much you know and research about nutrition, you still seem struggle to reach your targets.
I could offer suggestions but I feel they might come across as criticism.
The bottom line is put less in your mouth for the greater the weight loss.

my wee niece had her second cycle ride earlier, we went from south queensferry to new bridge on the cycle tracks, all in she managed 9.2 miles, just need to teach her to be able to stand up while cycling for hills as her bike only has 1 gear but she done really well and over took dad and i some times lol

she was getting a bit tired out on the way back but was soon zooming about her bike out side the house afterwards lol
