I'm not gonna post exact numbers and food. Just assume "c" means complex carb and "p" means a lean protein. I'm doing a 3 day moderate carb 1 day high carb cycle.
Day's 1-3 (moderate carb meals) 40%c, 40%p, 20% fat @ 20% lower than my maintence.
Day 4 (carb up day) 50%c, 30%p, 20% fat @ maintence.
Here's a sample of Day's 1-3 (moderate carb meals)
1. 63g carb oatmeal, 42g pro shake
2. 63 g carb wheat pasta / brown rice, 42pro chicken
3. 63 g carb wheat pasta / brown rice, 42pro chicken
(workout)
4. 63 g carb wheat pasta / brown rice, 42pro chicken
5. 1 cup green veggies, 50g pro chicken
6. 2 tbs anpb, 40 g pro shake
Total cals 2520
Ocassionally throw more veggies/ANPB throughout the day. My question is, I was thinking about cutting out the carbs in meal 4 and just keep the total carbs the same, and eat them for meals 1-3. Or, I might split meal 3's carbs in 1/2 and eat the other 1/2 post workout. Or is this slight manipulation even going to matter, and I should just keep the eating the same total's for meals 1-4?
My other question is i was thinking about switching this diet to a 30%carb /50%pro / 20% fat diet? With again the carb up day. Or maybe I should keep this diet as a back-up/plateu breaker, and save this one for the weeks leading up to a photo shoot?
Opinions on that? My goals here are muscle maintence and fat-loss. Stats 6ft, 10%, 185lbs
Finally, on the carb up day I eat the same exact same food, just 600 more calories of it spread out evenly, and I have a carb in meals 1-5, non in meal 6
