How low is too low for carbs

[MatGthew39]

I was wondering about carb intake relative to what professional bodybuilders would take head of a competition. Is there going to be a difference between taking 40 grams of carbs vs. 15 or less grams of carbs.

I was wondering if that little bit of a difference can make or break how I look onstage or does it not really matter

yes that little bit of difference goes a long way

but more important is type of carbs

brown rice and sweet potatoes are the not the same thing as cake and ice cream. use common sense

low carbs is not good or bad
go low carb to feel good under 50 grams

Nothing too low with carbs depends on goals.

This is why I recommend a trial run. Start now and vary the amounts to see what works for you
