Carb Cycling Diet, Tinytom, Pscarb HELP PLEASE :( - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Hi all,

I just wanted to post up me current diet as I have started to carb cycle and I wanna make sure I have enough of everything in there to get me sorted and continue to drop my bf which is currently around 15% :(

I aint using and ECA as I get terrible sides from them :( I am still doing cardio 3 time a week and training weights 3 times a week

I am doing 2 low carb days followed by a carb up day and so on goes the cycle...

LOW CARB DAY

Meal 1 50g of oats with medium banana and 30g of cashews

Meal 2 2xscoops of whey with 10g L-glutamine in water

Meal 3 250g of chicken in Brown grainery baguette & 30g cashews

Meal 4 2xscoops of whey with 10g L-glutamine in water & 30g cashews

Meal 5 250g of chicen with 30g of cashews

Meal 6 200g of sirloin steak with brocolli and green beans

Meal 7 2xscoops of whey with 10g L-glutamine in no fat milk & 30g cashew

Totals Calories=3070

Total Protein=340g

Total Fats=105g

Total Carbs=120g

High carb day is exactly the same except I drop the nuts out and I replace each meal they are in with rice or potatoes to help the carbing up process

I have a fast metabolism to start with and when bulking I need to eat around 4000cals and 500 to 600g of carbs

I also take fish oil 3 times daily plus I also take proboitic multis as well and milk thistle.

Any advice I would greatly appreciate, I have been doing this for 2 weeks now and have found a drop in my BF but I would like to no if there is anymore tweaking I could do to speed up the process

Cheers guys

If it aint broke, don't fix it dude. You said it's working fine, so keep on doing what your doing until you stall.

I agree but would consider dropping the bread, milk and bananna

**Tinytom** · 25-07-2007, 08:37 AM

I think that is fine.

As Del said the baguette isnt the best item to have but this is something you can drop out when you hit a plateau.

Same for the milk.

Make sure you have a cheat day once a week.

if you have a fast metabolism then i think you should be using more than 120g of carbs on your low days...
if when you are bulking you eat 500-600g of carbs just to gain weight then i would suggest that this is the amount for your high day 300g for your medium day and 150-200g for your low day especially if you are doing cardio.

i would agree with both the bread and the milk...

Thanks for the advice lads I really appreciate it, its great having lads such as yourselves helping us guys out

I have definatly noticed a difference in my body on low days it seems so much tighter and abs are coming through YAY, other day I would have killed for a piece of toast though LOL its amazing how much the body craves carbs when you aint having them. I have also throw 6 scrambled eggs in a day either between meal 1 and 2 or between dinner and my protein before bed, trying to get that fat count up a bit more same as protein and cals

COuld meals 2 , 4 and 7 not do with soem kind of fat? olive oil? fish oil tabs?

mickus · 26-07-2007, 03:58 PM

Fits,

That is what the cashews are for lad, they have 46g of fat per 100g plus as said in prior post I have added some eggs in also through out the day and I take fish oil supps 3 times a day...

Can I just take olive oil in mouth fulls through out the day to help???

fits · 26-07-2007, 04:30 PM

mickus · 27-07-2007, 12:33 PM
