    I agree with Gearbox. A high carb day is 400 grams and that is someone with fast metabolism. Meat and veggies with carb load to refill leptin is a great idea. But keep in mind a few things.

    For the most part it is not healthy to maintain a bodyfat below 8%. That is the reason it's so hard to get there. Because the body is not designed to stay that low. That is why competitors can only maintain very low bf levels for a day or two then go back up. If you want to get to 6% my advice is to enter a competition and hire a coach. They are expert's in diet's/training/ and have the know how to get to 6%. It's a system to get there and not easy, particularly for the points I highlighted above.

    thx brohim. although i havent researched what bf% would be considered unhealthy to live at i would think 6% would be fine. i could be wrong this is just my unresearched opinion. i may give it a look. ive made it to 8% without a lot of difficulty..
