Need Some Carb Cycling Help
I think I am going to switch things up a bit to get past a plateau I am currently stuck on. Gonna start doing Carb Cycling and needed a few questions answered. I am going to do Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as my High Carb days, days of my workout. Then Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday I will eat none to under 20g of carbs. These are my off days.
For the high carbs day, I was thinking that for Breakfast and Post Workout would be my major carb load meals. Breakfast would be some type of oats and post workout would be a moderate carb protein shake. The rest of the day would involve carbs such as brown rice, sweet potatoes or yams, oats, beans, starchy vegetables, whole wheat pasta, and whole grain breads. Does this sound right for the high carb days?
For the low carb days I was going to involve lean sources of protein and foods similar to that of a ketogenic diet. Cardio will also be done on an empty stomach on my off days, at a moderate pace in my target heart rate zone.
How does all of this sound? This is my first time doing this type of diet. Need a little help and motivation. I appreciate it!
