Des, ive never done any calorie cycling (at least intentionally). This was actually my first attempt at carb cycling. You are right that the calories going up and down probably had just as much to do with success as the macros. I actually never thought of it that way. At the time i was just focusing on taking as much advantage as possible of those 2 fully depleted days (Thur/Fri).

Good thread.

Onebreath, they call it Zig-zaggging. Apparently a lotta bodybuilders just do it completely randomly with no pattern of high/ low days. Keeps the metabolism on its toes.

I think Im correct in thinking carb cycling is just a variation of calorie cycling? My last carb cycle was 0/0 medium/high.

Onebreath, are you always keeping cals above maintenance on ur carb cycle?
