If I'm riding I'll sack it off and eat a proper breakfast. I mostly do 16:8 during the week and relax it at the weekend to be fair.
I did find I'd get tired or sore muscles if I ended up commuting hard in the morning doing 16:8, bcaas might have helped this or also I might have told myself they helped because I spent money on them -
I don't do any exercise at the moment, which solves that particular issue.
I haven't ridden for more than 2 hours in years.

Fuel appropriately for the exercise- otherwise it’s a literal exercise in futility.
I’m on ~1800 calories per day at the moment but when riding I’ll ignore that and have a decent breakfast, take a pocket full of bars and have sandwiches in my bag.
You want to run a deficit over time, losing around a kilo per week, as long as you track at around that then big calorie spikes for hard exercise are absolutely fine.
Also, better than bonking hard and then eating ALL the cake and not finishing the ride.

How do you manage eating for/on a ride? Most of my weekend riding is longer rides done first thing (less traffic etc) but I know that I'll hunger flat if I'm out for a 3-4 hour ride with no food before or during. Got no concerns about my daytime rides as they're at lunchtime and short so I can either go fasted or eat a little before I go.
