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.
