Cycling carbohydrate intake for fat loss...

[the big 1]

This is an interesting thread that I will definitely keep an eye on. This board is FULL of people who are big on protein/fat meals. I have pained for a year over these theories and various advice from board members. My diet has been modified and refined so many times, it's insane.

I am currently on a roughly 40/40/20 split - was at 3000 calories/day, but noticed some fat gain so I dropped it back to 2500 calories - however the majority of calories cut were from carbs. I am now eating roughly 300g protein, 200g carbs, and 65g fat each day.

When you say low fat, how many grams are we talking in a day? I can't believe we're coming full circle, back to low fat talk!

Looking forward to feedback and also some other members' opinions here.

hey man i totally know were your coming from, it can be hard to follow a strict diet because even if its calculated perfectly on paper, in reality its far from perfect...

Ive currently been eating around 2500 kcal also, and doing cardio, my first three meals are pro/carb and the last three are pro/fat and veggies.
It actually didnt work to bad at getting me lean, but i was fairly flat and on only 150grams of carbs a day, which i now know is the reason for me losing that 'buff' look i had previously...

My new approach after getting advice from ROMAN and NVR2BIG is going to be, high protien, moderate carbs and low fat...
300 protien 300 carbs, and just get fats from the meat i eat and oil i use to cook it in... then every 3 days im having a beef meal before training so im not to deprived of fat... (sound good fellas ?)

To be honest, after eating 300g of carbs and protien today i feel GREAT !, i have a real appetite and more energy, my delt and tri workout was brilliant, and i feel satisfyed and dont crave junk as usual... i think it was all that peanut butter, brazil nuts and oils that were slowing down my metabolism and making me feel lethargic ?
