Carbs Carbs Carbs...

Hey guys! Just wondering what a good amount of carbs you should intake during carb cycling? Im 6ft2 98kg, 14%bf and looking at dropping some body fat over the next 8 weeks. Im looking at doing 3 days low (60g) and 1 day high (300g)..... does this seem a right amount? and right amount of days cycled? I do thaiboxing, H.I.I.T training, weights 5x a week, i seem to cope well on a low carb diet i.e i can still function and feel energised and recovery seems ok but just wondered what you guys think? I get my carbs from complex unrefined carbs i.e sweet potatoe, oats, veg etc... Any ideas guys?

Depends on the individual's metabolic rate and energy needs.

i guess if i can train on less than 60g and recover then that would be ok amount? and if i couldnt recover or train then maybe take it up accordingly?

See how you feel doing it, I'd never go below 150g, even then that's extreme. I just opt for calorie deficit over carb cycling.
