Losing/controlling weight and training hard are a tough combo to balance! I think a lot of folks lose weight in the off season, and then let it creep back up during the season as they ensure they are getting enough fuel. I now really pig out the for the couple of days before a long hard ride. I've gained 3-4 pounds during these past few weeks of race prep. Lower riding volume (even at higher intensity) and more eating = weight gain.

But one of the advantages of training hard, and knowing you need to fuel your efforts, is that it forces you to eat the right stuff. I would never commit blasphemy by criticizing pie rides , but other than the pie, you can't eat junk and expect to perform well riding the bike. So you maximize the benefit of what you put in your stomach.
