Is it good to delete muscle glucogen for weight loss?

[bradhore]

And keeping muscle glycogen for a cutting diet is done by eating simple carbs in the morning, or by not going under 100g of carbs right?

that is a big NEGATIVE!!! muscle glycogen is basically how ur body stores glucose (which it derives from all types of carbs - simple and complex) for later use. it does not matter when u eat them..

i would not suggest going under 100g carbs for more than a few days consecutively. this will deplete muscle glycogen. the extent of which is individual. it is a lot harder to fully deplete muscle glycogen than a lot of people think. ive done depletion training. its a bitch!

cycling carbs is a good thing to do based on activity such as:

training days: 250g carbs
non training days: 180g carbs
refeed: 320g carbs

u will have to play with ur cals and macros to find what best suits you. it will take some time. like i said though, from my experience cals in vs cals out will dictate ur weight loss more than anything, and then u want to have adequate protein..

u can kind of play with the carbs and fats..

Thanks man.

So no need to deplete glucogen?
I know fat burning is better when it's depleted but then im risking losing strength as i have done.

no need to deplete glycogen. like i said before (i think twice )

cals in < cals out = lose weight

get adequate protein (1-1.5g per pound LBM) and play with carbs and fats. personally id keep fats to around 15-20% total cals. 45-70g range.. ive noticed when i eat lean meats and good complex carbs, my fats pretty much take care of themselves.

if ur still not exactly clear come up with a diet and post it on here with ur total macros as well as ur complete stats: age, weight, height, bf% and your training and cardio schedule.

^This is sound advice.
