During the summer, I use more my bike to travel, so my caloric intake will be higher, but the carbs will stay low.

It sounds like with both you and kestrel, the fat has to stay high in order to maintain rather than lose.....also, I wonder if because both of you are guys, that you have that extra benefit. Us women have a harder time.
I still have a long way to go before I am able to read what my body is telling me it needs in order to maintain -- but it is nice to know that there is the possibility of staying high fat in maintenance (full agreement with the health benefits of such) when I reach that point. Guess I will figure out what works best for me when I get there!

this was what i was talking about......81% Fat

Upthread, you said 65-70%. 81% does sound a little extreme to me -- the "fat" doesn't bother me, but the amount of protein v. the amount of fat does.
I may be wrong, but isn't a "fat flush" intended to be temporary?
