I'm on the right of the standard muscular cirlce.
13.5% body fat according to boditrax - no idea how accurate this is but you hold the two grips and stand on the plate, so assume at least as accurate as good tanita scales?

That's sound innit?
You could maybe lose a couple of kilos of fat, but you won't get near 78kg unless you stop exercising and lose muscle.
I'd totally ignore the weight thing, it doesn't sound like you'll ever be troubling Quintana in the mountains.
I was quite lean once, you get cold really easily, no one tells you that. Better a bit fat and nice and warm.

I wouldn't hold much truck to the measurements, but as always- use the same measuring device and it doesn't matter- you're looking for a downward trend.
long stream of consciousness follows
You could try carb cycling, you could try IF, you could try fasted sets, you already do gym work and a decent amount of cardio, so try swapping the cardio for intervals for the short period, avoiding massive rides where you go deep into reserves and then need to replenish (not ideal in summer time), and hope for the best.
I also agree with Hefty. Ignore weight.
I'm back on here because though I'm not that fat, I'm not happy with my complacency towards my diet. Came back from the states in really good shape, got sick, now struggling to kick the bad habits at work. Time to be serious(ish). 68kg currently- but belly is present. Have made significant muscle gains over the past 5 months, but not cycling specific.

Boditrax has loads of readings. I've no idea how accurate it is but I'd say the one with the grid of circles will be your friend, the one with 'hidden obese' and 'standard muscular' and all that.
What does it reckon your body fat % is?
My pal climbing Kim is well above his suggested ideal weight but has 6% body fat.
