way more protein is needed and carbs should be cut down if you want to cut-eat 350g protein a day
I can tell u one thing, that sure as heck ain't low carb!
Focus having your carbs for your first meal (oats), then having a postworkout shake in the early evening made with maltodextrin. To cut, these work good for being my only source of carbs. As the weeks progress, I ditch the oats...............it works.........

I was gunna ask the same thing.... at the moment I'm having a bowl of oatmeal in the morning (small one) and sometimes I have a slice of wholemeal bread during the day....
As well as some honey postworkout. That's the only carbs I get (aside from skim milk)....
.... is it enough, or too much? Keep in mind that my fat content is very low....

That's cool, but ditch the honey......it does nothing for glycogen recomp after a workout, and this is PROVEN. Trust me, I used to use honey, while some choose fruit............a big no no.........fructose will go to the liver, NOT the muscle(s)....
supplementdirect.com has 11lbs of maltodextrin (glucose) for 10 bucks!!! Can't beat it! Keep the oats in the a.m., I say ditch the bread as it doesn't really need to be there from what I can tell, and have the maltodextrin postworkout.........or keep the bread and if u aren't losing, then take that out.........then the oats...........then finally the maltodextrin......(only the week before the contest)........U always want to fill the glycogen back up to aid recovery....
And the milk has to go bro.....sooner or later...........Arnold didn't say "milk is for babies" for nothing!

according to dr dipasquale, 30grams a day or less is low,according to atkins, less than 20 gramsGarza said:
not quite....
for sedentary individuals, those numbers would apply......
for bodybuilders, under 100 is low carb..........just ask anyone used to eating pasta, rice, breads, etc. how they feel when they take in under 100 and attempt to train balls out.............I bet they call it "low carb" then!

For me, "low carb" is between 150 and 200 grams. I can't function at all on less and my job requires me to be constantly thinking. Also, I never did very well on Keto diets vs a reduced carb diet to justify the agony. My normal maintenance diet is roughly ~400g p ~400g c and ~50g of fat per day. I think everyone needs to experiment and discover what works for their individual metabolism.
