The number one nutrition goal cyclists of all ages and abilities have when they want to work with me as a sports dietitian is to lose weight and improve their power to weight ratio. Many cyclists assume that if you weigh less your power to weight ratio will be higher and you’ll perform better on the bike. While this CAN be the case - it is not always true for every individual depending on their starting place and the strategies they have used to change their body composition. I have known cyclists who lost weight lose considerable watts across the whole spectrum from their 5 second sprint to their 90 min power. And I have also seen cyclists seen their power numbers skyrocket and become when they’ve gained or maintained weight.
