New to Board and need some help

Thanks bunches, I had been under the impression that cycleing carbs would inhibit lean mass gains. It is pretty easy to tell what is going on if you monitor closely so let me get my handy dandy diet sheet out and my calculator and I'll let you know how this goes for me.

Okay, that makes sense. My concern with the effect on LBM was that it would eventually have a neg impact on the workouts. I tried 50 the other day just to see what it would feel like - you are a woman of iron constitution....everything was fine til about 9pm when I had a total meltdown and went for my daughters valentine's day candy, I got a grip after a handfull of m&m's. Note to self: eliminate all candy from house on low carb days.
I think I would do fine at 100 on the low end while adding mass. I don't have competitve aspirations so 12-14% bodyfat would be fine with me.

LOL - no, it wasn't hunger - it was I WANTED THE CHOCOLATE!!!!!
I tend to have low blood sugar, low glycemic carbs tend to stabalize it but when I drop below a certain amount it really effects me.
