750 calories is on my moderate days, so my current carb cycle diet looks like this:

MOD Monday 750 calories
LOW Tuesday 448 calories
LOW Wednesday 448 calories
LOW Thursday 448 calories
HIGH/Re-feed Friday 1150/1350 calories
MOD Saturday 750 calories
MOD Sunday 750 calories

I should have worded my original post better but I can't go back and edit what I said. I would like to put on some muscle like I stated, but I'm really looking more to harden up and get more cut. I'm just coming off a bulk this past winter where I packed on a solid 6-8 lbs. with very minimal body fat added. Going off some of the pictures I've seen I'd estimate anywhere from 18-22% BF is where I'm at right now.

During my bulk, I was taking in 1500 calories and saw great results with the added weight. This is the first time I am doing a cutting diet so I'm just playing around with what my body works best with. Currently I have my macro split to 45% protein/40% carbs/15% fat but I think I am going to change it up to the following split: 55% protein/30% carbs/15% fat and do the diet as follows:

moderate days: 1000 calories 138g protein/75g carbs/16g fat

no carb days: 696 calories 138g protein/0g starchy carbs (just veggies)/16g fat

high day: 1196 calories 138g protein/125g carbs/16g fat

refeed day (every 2 weeks): 1396 calories 138g protein/175g carbs/16g fat

I will try to get the female BB I spoke to to chime in on this thread. Would love to get some more feedback!
I'm interested in how you will make out on your diet. If you are 20% BF, your TDEE is around 1650-1660, so you are eating quite a bit below main. even your refeed day is below. Please keep me updated so I know how you're feeling. (I have to start a cut after my cycle and following you will help! ) The var will help you keep your hard-earned muscle , but if you were starving (var makes me super freaking hungry), you should still have fantastic results if you have a refeed day even once a week.

What your BB'r friend said is correct, and if you are thinking of competing I would say absolutely not to bc pills, I just meant that you totally didn't blow it nor hinder all gains.

Pumped for you girl!!!
