    Nark, what do you suggest for percentages? I will increase carbs just to see what happens but I'm trying to get some different opinions.

    Looks like you are currently at about 48/32/20. You could probably drop the protein a bit and add a bit of carbs but this current ratio seems to be serving you well. If it were me and I wanted to get leaner I would keep the diet as is for now and just increase my cardio.

    Thanks again Fireguy. I think I will increase the carbs for a few months to put on size and make some strength gains. After my cycle, I may revert back to this diet...and then over the summer, increase cardio as you suggest.

    40:40:20.. to start.

    From there, one can tweak it further to the individual.

    I see guys jumping on the 60+% carb intake bandwagon since George Farah stated that his athletes use 65% carbs during their contest preps.

    NB: I'm not disputing George's figures.

    I just find it laughable how members jump from one extreme to another here.

    Run a search on the trends here, and you'll realize that the same guys suggesting one thing were the ones backing a completely different thing just months prior.
