That actually puts 300 watts in the vicinity of what the average person can attain with a LOOOOT of hard work.
I kind of figure that 300 is near my genetic limit.
How you get to 300 W? Good parents and good training. If your question is more like how do you get a decent w/kg, watch your diet (which you seem to be doing).
As others have mentioned, get your cycling specific LTHR and proceed accordingly. When you want to do a test, do so outdoors, when you are not fatigued. I won'tbe surprised if you pick up another 20 watts or so
Fwiw, Coggan estimated that most could hit 4.4 w/kg with dedicated training
I'll have to dig up A.C.'s post...but I was pretty certain he calculated < 50% of all "middle aged" males could even hit 4.0 w/kg.
