It doesn't matter what I eat or how much, I don't gain, and I settle in around 215 pounds. (I'm 6'5" so 215 is pretty thin lol). If I'm riding less than 2 hours per day, then I have to count calories to maintain or lose weight. This is just my personal experience, I know everyone is different. I have always been like this through my 40+ years of riding.
