Guys jump in here thats just under 1800 cal a day, I know he is 173 but thats gotta be way to low for cals.

**Dadup** · 09-05-2013, 03:37 PM

well the first problem I see is that the averages come out to be about a 200 calorie difference, so the first thing I would do is put your numbers to be as close to the same as possible every day to see what changes REALLY need to be made...

Hoss and Austin may disagree, but I dont think its TOO bad... about 550 under what his supposed maintenance would probably be... But then again we don't have a lot to go on here

Consider that since the injury I can not move as much weigh as I used to, nor can I run, etc. My cardio w/o has been getting better but I still lack a lot of the movement I used to have. Cardio intensity has been lowered but time has been longer to compensate. This is also an issue when lifting.

Shelby has me at like 1600 every 3rd day and around 2000 the other days and I weigh 193.

ok so to my original question..... how many grams of fat do you allow yourself when on a low carb day when carb cycling? For example: low carb day/high carb day/etc.

Hey bro,
you really can learn a lot about carb cycling from these guys.. I learned a lot from the nutrition section. There was a ton of information there. It worked well I learned everything and now I cycle carbs easy! Pay attention and take notes.

Reeeeeeally thats very interesting, I had found a sweet spot around 2200 cal for myself to still drop some fat nice and slow, but im at around 211, and tbh i dont train as hard as you do.

Maybe its time for a lil experiment
