How many grams of carbs for a no-carbs day? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Yep I know this sounds like a really stupid question, but in the carb cycling thread that's knocking about this forum, it does say that you should still eat stuff like veg on zero carbs days, just as long as you don't deliberately include any carb-rich foods.

So, what's the maximum grams of carbs you should consume on a no-carb day?

unless you eat nothing but cod filets and fish oils all day total 0 carbs would be very hard...

i'd go with no more than 5-10g of carbs for each meal...

the lowest i go on low carb days is 60g and 2 of my meals that day contain veg as the carb source.

So you reckon 44g for a "no carb" day is ok then? I haven't got my meal plans with me but I think my low carb days are nearer 120g, and my high carb days are probably double that.

You dont count green veg in your carb allowance.

Personally I wouldn't even aim for a zero carb day, its torture for very little extra fat loss imo.

I don't go below 150g not and I really would recommend anyone going below 100.

Compensate for eating the extra carbs by doing cardio.
