Re: Carb cycling. Are my carbs too low?

Thanks for the advice guys. So would you say the amounts of carbs, fats etcs are okay or should I have more carbs? Is having high days on days I weight train good enough to build muscle?

You say do cardio but how much? I do 45 mins 3 times a week. If I do anymore won't I burn too much muscle? I do it on an empty stomach in the morning. I do a mixture of HIIT and also moderate cardio in my fat burning zone. Should I keep my carbs low as I have been doing on these days?

Also you say I shoud clean up my diet. What exactly do you mean? As far as I know its very clean. I've cut out alcohol and increased my water intake. I've stopped frying with oil and now use the sprays. I only eat good fats and complex carbs. I cut my fruit intake down, I dont have any sugar in my diet, except for post workout. It seems no matter what I do my stomach remains soft and puffy. Is there any way I could post a pic of myself? You'll see for my weight I have got good muscle deffintion. I've got a six pack but i'm not as cut as I want. 6 days a week in the gym and I still look like I've got a tummy on me!

I thought carb cycling still builds muscle but also burns fat on the days you dont train.

What am I doing wrong?
HELP!!! Please. And thanks! Aaron
