The Carb Cycling Diet by Roman Malkov,quite a complex read.I see your from the states,I guess you will want a keto diet form...

no i don't want a keto diet, maybe i was too vague in my first post, i want dieting books that explain the scientic reasoning behind bodybuilding diet structure and how to create a diet plan for cutting, lean bulking, bulking etc.

i'm just trying to further my knowledge on dieting in bodybuilding as far as i can as it is the most important part of all we do.

I would strongly suggest reading, firstly, a book that is quite rudimentary in BB nutrition. Then going to more advanced books. Chris Aceto has a couple of easy reads, then you can move on to books like Nutrient Timing and/or Power Eating and/or Comprehensive Performance Nutrition and/or a few others that I cant recall the names now. I must forewarn you that many of these books have conflicting theories and draw different conclusions from one another. Personally what I did was gather some info and actually try things and see how it worked on me. For example I actually like having some Protein/High GI carbs peri-WO. Not many do this here but it works for me, I almost never feel drained and it works for me, others take in BCAAs and finally most have nothing. So its somewhat subjective, you gotta try it to see.

thanks for the recommendations, i figured i would get conflicting views, but i'm just searching for knowledge and i'd rather know 10 conflicting approachs to dieting and nutrition than none, thanks again
