Cannot feel that way while riding for two months.
Nuts, cheese and smoked sausage are my staples. I look for Asian buffets when I crave a full meal. Most towns of 10K and up seem to have one these days. I'll buy a couple of pizza slices at a kwiki mart and just eat the toppings. Rotisserie chickens are easy to come by in any decent size grocery store as well as some nice cheeses.
My longest trip has only been 495 miles in 7 straight days of self-contained riding, but I stuck to a <30 grams of carbs a day diet and never felt deprived. I wouldn't expect to feel any different after 70 days. About half of my calorie intake came from good ol' whole walnuts... one of the world's greatest foods.
