Nice try but ... FAIL. Food is necessary for life. Even non-cyclists still need to, and will, eat. Someone that is more of a geek about it than you or I might actually calculate the caloric expenditure of each hour spent cycling and calculate the cost of those calories and move them to the tally of "Cycling Expenses" accounting. The earlier document that is the basis for this thread takes fuel cost in consideration. Any reimbursement your employer might give you for using your personal vehicle on their behalf will factor fuel costs, and you would want them to.
