For trackies...Here is an excerpt from the Aussies paper. https://www.ridethetrack.com/pdf/character_of_track.pdf
As expected, both male and female elite track cyclists average among the lowest levels of body fat of any sport.[9,10,25,30,32-37] From a practical point of view, Olds et al.[1,38] estimated that an increased body fat mass of 2kg would increase a 4000m individual pursuit cycling performance time by about 1.5 seconds, which equates to a distance of approx- imately 20m. Kyle[39] estimated a 3.5% increase in nonfunctional mass would increase the cyclist’s time over 1000m by 0.15 seconds.

No wonder I'm so slow right now.
Seriously.

Getting skinny used to be a lot easier - all I had to do was ride. But now at 53, I'm 5'11 and hover around 170 lbs. I live in a hilly area so climbing ability is essential. My goal is to drop 10-15 lbs, but that's not been entirely successful. The 'MyFitnessPal' app works OK, but logging everything does gets in the way of carrying on with life.

5'9" and 168 pounds.
I've lost 38 pounds since last spring, 22 pounds since Jan 1. I'm seeing that there are actually muscles hidden behind that blubber. At the same time, since Jan 1 I've been in an intense weight-lifting program so that I can sprint on the track again. I'd like to lose another 20 pounds by the start of the upper-Midwest track season. I raced at 132 pounds as a kid, but since then I've added pounds to my lats and pecs. The luxury of transitioning from road to track sprinting allows me to actually have an upper body.
Currently I'm spending about 2-1/2 hours in the gym and another hour or two on the trainer. I do monitor my HR to Watt ratio to avoid over-training. At the moment I'm burning about 7k calories a week, with it rising as I get stronger.
Early breakfast is usually some oat bran with blueberries, OJ, and two cups of coffee. Then a protein shake an hour later, just before I hit the gym. Lunch is another protein shake and an apple or other fruit. Then I rest a couple of hours and hit the trainer. Once I get off the trainer I take in another protein shake. Dinner is fully balanced, either vegetarian or some animal protein. Just before turning in I down another protein shake with some kind of fresh vegetable.
I have a weak spot for seedless mandarin oranges. They are like candy dressed up as fruit.
When I hit my periodic weight and performance goals I treat myself to some 16-ounce curls down at the local brew pub.
