How to find my ideal weight to improve my performance? I been cycling for 6 months and during the last three I've been training ~4 to 5 days a week some weeks even 6 days. In Jan I was  184lbs (5'10.5") and know I'm from 168~171. The problem is that the intensity of the training is pushing me to eat more or I'll lose performance. I just to train box and I went down to 155lb so I guess 160lb should be a good target weight specially for the coming races were climbing is the biggest factor.
