How would i adjust this carb cycle diet to fit my description?

**BigMan65** · 03-05-2015, 05:06 PM

lets say 6'0" 210 lbs. 20% BF low activity (to be safe) Main goal: Fat loss

since i seen to have the bulk cooking routine down for these meals i'd like to keep the ingredients the same, but perhaps lessen the weights & measuremetns, or eliminate meals entirely if you would suggest this instead.

Okay i tried to clean up a representation of my carb cycling diet a little in the attached graphic before, so that i could ask you guys how i could best adjust my meals (and which ones?) for my (apparently slow) metabolism?

At 210 and 20%, I would have your maintenance cals around 2400. You may need a little more deficit. What kind of body type do you have?

Endomorph/Ecto/Meso?

iv always considered it meso

I glanced over it again and you could drop about 7 egg whites from the first set in meal one, that would take off 175 cals. Rest looks good for low carb day. You don't need 300g of protein a day.

As for your carb up day, why don't you save that until you really feel rundown and need the energy.

On your weekend meals, I would drop that meal 5 with the extra shake

is that why i feel so tired lol? no carbs?

i was already sleeping like a rock last night 5 minutes after staying up for that last meal. a week ago i was chugging Wal-Sleep Z just to get some shuteye.

I really want to trade carb up day for a thin crust papa johns pizza....

Thanks again, let me know if you have any more suggestions.

It is probably the culprit.
