Intermittent Fasting discussion thread!!

[RickRock13]

I think I'll give cycling carbs a try. What would a calorie% split look like on a workout day? P:40 C:40 F:20?
Non workout days? P:40 C:0 F:60?

Also what's your opinion on carbs after fasted cardio?

Thanks mate you've been a great help

That split would work fine, but it really is user dependant based on how sensitive you are to carbs etc...that is a good start to adjust from if need be though.

On days I do fasted cardio, (non workout days) I do low to no carbs.

Always eat for your goal. When doing cardio on a day, the goal should be to burn fat. To do this more effectively you should keep the carbs very low those days.

On days you workout the carbs would be moderate to high.

I think I'm just gonna try that split and then see how my body reacts to it.

Thanks for the help rick

What kinds of carbs can you eat while doing IF for it to be beneficial? Would sushi rice be ok

Take in whatever carbs you want bro. Obviously there are healthier complex carb choices than others like brown rice, sweet potatoes, etc...but that doesn't stop me from enjoying some nice simple carbs and sugars during my feed either like breads and pastas. Actually a good mix of complex and simple carbs is ideal. The simple carbs are great for immediate and quick insulin spike and the complex carbs are great for replenishing glycogen stores and long lasting energy. Best of both worlds

That may be mostly from higher carb intake and glycogen uptake. Depending on whether you check weight following a high carb day or low carb day. Weight can fluctuate up to 3-5 lbs on those days.

I usually weigh everyday lol but dont take much note of high days and rather use depleted state as my basekine, lowest before was 210, lowest after 70 cardio yesterday was 214 lbs but next monday will be more accurate after two low days in a row 60 cardio per day.

Also need bf checked asap, started cycleon the weekend as well.

To me, cardio is a non workout day. Unless you are doing some intense HIIT. I freaking hate cardio! !!

Yep...any and all cardio is considered a non workout day in my book.

And if you are doing fasted cardio its best to stick to LISS or moderate intensity cardio.
