What your stats?
Why does your high carb day also is your highest fat day?

5'9" 180 estimating 12-15% BF.
My fats range between 40-60 grams on any given day, they don't get out of that range

I didn't feel like writing it all out. . . just being lazy. I have in snack in between meals to maintain blood levels which includes salads fruits and samll amounts of pasta or rice. I keep a full personal log and the totals net around 300-400. I also factor any sauces or toppings/seasonings i use such as bread crumbs on breaded chicken which end up adding a good amount of carbs. I want to get down to 8-10% bodyfat.

as i suspected.
1. IMO this is NOT the proper approach to have toward ur diet. if ur too lazy to post all the necessary info others will prob be uninterested in helping u. also if ur too lazy to post all the info (which requires little effort) how do u think ur commitment to ur diet is gonna hold up?
2. 300-400g carbs is a big range.. it tells me u havent properly planned out ur meals.
3. while cutting u want to keep fruit to a minimum. ur body only has the ability to store @50g fructose in the liver (if memory serves). anything above that can be stored as bodyfat.
4. when trying to cut to 8% ur gonna have to be fairly particular about food choices. i dont recommend wasting cals on things like bread crumbs and condiments (which typically have a lot of sugar in them). sugar is ur enemy while cutting especially. it halts ur ability to mobilize fat into the blood for oxidation!
5. personally i would only have 1 high carb day.
6. u need to post a lot more info to get educated accurate analyses of ur proposed diet, such as:
a) total cals and macros for all 3 "type" days. high, low, moderate
b) complete diet posted including everything u put into ur mouth (food and drink )
c) workout schedule: weightlifting split, cardio (days per week and duration and intensity)
d) a closer approximation of ur bf% would help as well. it appears u like guessing at things. not a good idea when trying to cut to single digit bf%. IMO
