Personally speaking, one reason I love riding is because it allows me to eat as much as I like. Might be a fat b@$t@rd in cycling circles, but to non-cyclists, I'm pretty slim.
I am with you. I lost 100lbs biking and eating better and I am net still losing but one of the reasons I bike is so that I can be a bit less strict with my diet. While it can certainly be quantified (BMI, etc), being fat is often relative to whom you compare. Also, being healthy overall is significantly more important than not being fat (within reason of course!)
