What that actually looked like food wise was ~1,900 calories per day 29th-1st, then loads of food on the Friday to go with the 85Km mountain bike ride, all the food on Saturday for the whole days MTB training, and then peanut butter sandwhiches and three naked bars on Sunday for the two hour Surrey Hills MTB ride, then back to 1,900 calories per day again, heavily biased toward protein. No point not fuelling for the work you're doing.
I train for an hour, Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and try to keep to 10-15,000 steps per day, that activity is accounted for in the 1,900 calories, anything additional to that gets extra food.
Once I'm pushing up again it'll go back to ~3,000 calories per day.
