just had a blood test and came back with high triglycerides. I have not noticed any dip in performance, but if lowered would it increase cycling ablility? How could i lower triglycerides while still eating a high carb diet?

I would check with a nutritionist.
WW Member Rustychain on this forum could be of some help.
Maybe that's not a worry so much...
Personnally I would check processed food first, with lots of shortening, and trans fat, or animal fat, "hidden" in the ingredients. That includes most energy and protein bars, and many reputed "healthy" foods.

Questions that at first should be dealt with a doctor given the potential serious health effects and then, if suitable, a nutritionist.

NUTS!

High Triglycerides are often caused by high nut consumption, especially nuts like peanuts.

^ aaaaand there's a good example of why professional medical advice is required.

Im 5"9 at 145 ish. It looks like i could cut out some fats. Doctor tells me to cut out all sports drinks and keep riding. I guess all of that skratch labs is getting to store fat or that liter of orange juice i dronk after half my rides. In the end he told me to cut down on sugar and stay away from hydrogenated fats. Excess sugar(carbs) would be stored too hence why i have high triglycerides and another 7 pounds to lose.

5'9" , 145 lbs....wanting to lose 7 lbs....
