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.
