i would change things up dude, i would do things like this

Sunday-none
Saturday-low-traps,calves,forearms
Friday-high-arms, shoulder
Thursday-none-Just Cardio
Wednesday-low-Back,rear delts
Tuesday low-chest,light arms
Monday-high- legs, calves

you will benefit more from training legs with higher carbs,also means u will be able to push heavier weights than if u were low carb therefore burning more calories,i mean your legs are 50% of your body so u need extra energy to train them hard!

i would split your carbs up to breakfast,pre and post work out, dont have carbs in the 2nd meal unless its your pre work out meal. do 30% carbs for breakfast,30% pre work out and 40% of your carbs post work out.

on days u are having high carb days increase your carbs by maybe 125% so if u are having 150g carbs on a low day then have 340g of carbs that day, but this day split up the carbs through out the day... u do need some dietary fats in your diet... if you are doing 7 meals a day i would do it like this

meal 1 : protein + carbs
meal 2 : protein + fats
meal 3 : protein + fats
meal 4: protein + carbs(pre work out meal)
meal 5 : protein + carbs (post work out meal)
meal 6 protein + fats
meal 7 protein + fats.

i dont count the trace amount of fat in chicken and oats etc... so have like 8-10g of fats per meal,fats are essential bud,

also what type of cardio are u doing on off days? if its HIIT cardio have 50g of carbs on that day pre cardio.

just my take on things

No added fats??

Low carb days-1 gram of carbs per pound of bodyweight. 255/3 85grams of carbs per meal @ 3 meals. First 2 meals and pwo meal.
7.5 oz of lean meats per meal and or shake @ 50grams of protein. 2 meals can have veggies

1g per pound of BW seems fine to me.

High Carb days-Can have as many carbs as I like within reason for 4/6 meals. Can also have 3 small servings of fruit @ no more then 100 calories per pop.
6oz portions of lean meats per meal, or a shake with 40 grams of protein

Also seems fine.

*No added dietary fats

If it were me i and i was using this method i would have my high days when i train back and legs. These body parts are gonna require the most energy and intensity so it just makes sense to me. Everything else seems fine, im sure you will need to tweek thing as your progress. There's alot of good info on carb cycling here.

The first one is a thread on another forum. The last 2 links are pretty good reads. Good luck with your diet!!!!

Personally, I would use my high carb days for leg day and back day.

I would also be adding healthy fats to my non-carb meals. The amount is dependant on your needs, but unless you're a few weeks out and behind, you should have fats in there.

- we have no idea what you look like or what your stats (bf%, weight, age, sex, etc.) or goals are... how can we comment?
- you need healthy fats, don't skip those
- carb cycling is a dynamic method - you can't use the same setup for weeks on end and expect great results. most of my clients get changes weekly, both to their diet as well as their cardio.

Put your high days on your heaviest training days... IMO... Legs, Back, Chest; priority in that order.

if this is your first time dieting, i would suggest doing a consistent amount of foods and reducing carbs/increaseing protein as you go and see how that goes.

keep it simple stupid when your starting out

Bones post a few pics OR if you can honestly make constructive criticism on your own physique, what body parts need work? what body parts are your strengths? What's your height and weight and roughly what were you eating in the offseason?

First off since your "carb cycling" why is there a day that has 0 carbs?? There should only be low days and moderate days and high days. Also your lacking essential fats in this diet plan. Lastly just because your eating carbs doesn't mean you shouldnt have a cheat meal.. remember cheat meals are the key to speeding up progress and getting you past plateaus.

255 @ 14-15 percent bf Male

Not my first diet, did many.

I don't believe in the fats because I'm already on a bunch of test and I always seem to loose fat at a very slow rate when taking them in.

I only plan on dieting for 2 months

Probably because you're taking in a lot of carbs along with them. EFA's are essential for a reason. Don't reinvent the wheel.
