  so im giving carb cycling a shot.  so far i like it but its hard to plan. one you have it its really easy because you have a list what to make for what day.  i find it hard to get the % right on target im always off by a little.

does that matter?

 

High Carb days(2Days) (also work out days)

What it is:                           What is should be:

201G   39%                          200G   40%

50G    22%                             44G  20%    

201G   39%                          200G   40%

 

Medium days(3days)  (no exercise maybe a mile run)

What it is:                              What it should be:

124G  25%                           125G  25%

66G  30%                               66G  30%

223G  45%                           225G  45%

 

No carb days(2 Days) (no exercise at all)

What it is                              What it should be:

27G     6%                            25G   5%

81G    41%                          100G  45%

240G  53%                          250G   50%

 

As you can see im close on 5 of 7 days of the week.

 

But its the No carb days that no matter the combination i cant get the protien and fats high enough withouht going over the 30G carb limit for the no carb day on the play lol.

the only thing that has basically no carbs is chicken but that adds protien but not alot of fat and as you can see % wise i need more fat in there than protien. 

There is pork that adds protien and fat but i already have 16 OZ for that day and its expensive and after 1 lb of porn on 1 meal ide de sick of it.

 

 

Anyone know of food that are all protien and semi high in fats and NO carbs?

 

OR

 Being off by 20G of fat and 10G of protien not a big deal?

If it doesnt really matter then ill be happy to leave it how it is :)

Hey man,

 

Honestly, I think you are making the carb cycling more complicated than it needs to be. This high, medium and low carb day stuff isn't really necessary. I would have just a lowerish carb days most of the time and a high carb day every now and then. You need to find your carb toelrance/limit though. That is how I help my clients in identifying that limit. Having a high carb day every so often helps avert stagnation. Red meat, eggs, seeds/nuts are your best chocies for high protein and fat foods.
