clen and carbs

[newbie270]

thinkin of doing a 50-pro 30-fat 20- carb split.
the amount of carbs will be between 115 and 120 grams. Do you think clen will be alright to run with this many carbs or should I drop the fat and increase the carbs for it? thanks for the help

I'm sure someone who knows more about Clen in particular will chime in, but my question would be: why are you looking to do Clen right now? The general rule of thumb is that controlled substances are only valuable for the last 3% of any results. Diet is 70-80% and training 20-30%. All drugs have side-effects and some sides can be permanent and devastating.

Can a macro split of 50/30/20 be effective? Yes, in general, with a clean diet and correct calories for your size, body fat percentage and goals (ie. cutting/maint./bulking) and provided you are not carb sensitive (more unusual than people think).

I know I sound like a broken record, but I recommend Tom Venuto's Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle e-book for full, easy to understand information on diet, cardio and weights, all in one place. Once you've done all you can the natural way, look for supplements to advance you beyond your genetic potential - but not until then!

Good luck!

clen is fine with those amount of carbs. i was taking it and only eating 15-20% carbs. as long as your eating a caloric deficit, you'll be fine. i know of diets where you eat 60% carbs/10%fat/30%protein or 33/33/33 or what you're doing. i recommend body opus (currently reading and learning a ton) to help with cutting. the book is all about losing fat and muscle loss prevention while cutting. if you taking clen, you may consider a low dose of t3.

Clen will work fine with that many carbs. It's not really a lot of carbs in all honesty.

Judging by your percentage and numbers though I guess you're actually a decently big guy. About what 220?

What's your bf% at? You'll waste your clen if it's too high. You shouldn't really touch it unless you're at the most low-mid teens. Otherwise you should be okay.
