* CUTTING MACROS* Are these OK?

[bigg12x]

I been cutting slowly after lean gaining i guess since January. 23 YEAR OLD MALE, 6'2 and 4 day spilt in weights where I slowly added in cardio and capped at 4 day 45 min Stairmaster a week. I left heavy for a cut 4-5 sets each exercise 10,8,8,6,6.... heavy as possible to failure... I see results muscle wise.... but I feel like im getting more bulkish than cutter..... my macros are 270 protein/ 170 carbs/ 60 fat... all clean and I am refeeding/cheating once a week..... any ideas?

they say to reefed / cheat day every 7-10 days to refresh system I try 10 but usually ends up at 7 days....

the carbs count is anywhere from 350-450 on reefed !

Any opinions

If your natural idk how anyone could do that much cardio and lift heavy that often and somehow still see results muscle wise.. For starters there is a big difference between a carb up day and a cheat day.. When I "carb up" I simple just eat more of the carbs that I already eat such as oats,rice,sweet potatoes, and more carb dense veggies. If somehow you are gaining muscle given your macros which I find hard to believe with what you posted then your simply eating too much. You could also try changing some of your training factors: reps, time between sets, etc

what will that do by switching up... I am taking to time in gym that's true long 2 hours sometimes.... too much ppl in there to talk to lol.... but I do get all done..... macros are ok?

actually not bad.

I like a carb cycling approach, low med high re feed day.

170 is pretty moderate-low so looks okay, also saw in your other thread you mentioned you bloat from carbs.. this number probally needs to be lower.


when I prep my carbs range from 50-150 low -medium and 45 min am and pm cardio.

would have to see your meal break downs though

assuming 170/6

28 g per meal in all 6

or maybe 42 per 4 meals

other 2 meals

pro fat combo's

to be honest bro I used to stress man over MACROS PER MEAL.... but i leanred it doesn't matter im sure it works on daily but even more it works on WEEKLY macros deflect im sure..... so i can hit 70g protein a meal or 100 or 35 but i always count and hit my MAIN DAILY NUMBER that's what i been doing.

carb cycle im trying it.... carbs drop and protein rises for example

325 pro/ 100carb/ 60 fat can be one of days

also have a day that's

325/50carb/90 fat.... its hard as hell man

but i might stop cheating ad reefed eveyr 7-10 days or countine?

sounds like your doing iffym type stuff

50 carb isn't that bad.. on my low carb days I'm near 0 other than carbs from veggies or condiments.

ppl who do ketosis style are on 0-50 for weeks it is do able.

so you would potentially have 100 grams of pro per meal?

or 5 grams pro meal?

as long as you hit your daily total?

do you not see the issue with that?

dude your overthinking this a little bit. You have a good amount of fat to lose. Stay in a moderate caloric deficit, keep doing your cardio and weight training.. That's whats going to lose a lot of that fat you are holding not carb cycling.. If your on point with that shit for a little then I'd look into a sarms cycle

why would it be a problem eating 100g pro in on meal.... if it was done or not?
