Wednesday - workout day - 275g protein, 450g carbs, 60g fat
and so on. You get the idea. Carb intake was higher on training days. This kept glycogen stores at maximal levels for each session and, at 450g/day, certainly continued to aid in the recovery process during off days.
There are plenty of ways to implement a carb cycle, but based on a M/W/F training regimen, this is what worked best for me.
