when you say higher carb, are you still getting adequate protein/fats?

it's roughly P=52.4%, C=41%, F=6.6% Higher Carb Day
and P=65.7%, C=25.9%, F=8.4% Lower Carb Day

might need a bit more fat. 6-8% is only about 150 calories of your day which equates to less than 20g fat.

I would guess most people get that much even from eating fat free foods!

Actually, 25% of 2000 calories is still over 120 grams of carbs. That would be a high carb day in my mind. 41% you're actually getting 200grams plus! The reason I point this out, is because in order to get the adequate protein and fat, while still being low calorie, the calories you take from are carbs, and tends to bring you right down under 100 grams everyday.

It shouldnt be too too bad cause the actual numbers are
Low Carb is 289.5g Protein, 114.1g Carbs, 37.3g Fats

And of course a lot of those carbs come from Just Brocolli for example roughly 90g per day

Higher Carb is 269.1g Protein, 210.3g Carbs, 34.1g Fats

sounds decent. It might be hard to continue losing, and eventually you'll have to cut those carbs lower. but good to keep as high as possible for as long as your losing. I don't follow a keto diet to a tee or anything, but 4-5 weeks out, you'll rarely see me eating a complex carb. This year was a different story, too lean too soon, but it just allowed me to have a weekly cheat.

Yeah Like I said since 90g roughly is Brocolli then I am really only consuming small extras.

Like 25g extra on non carb days which is including EVERYTHING IE Peanut butter etc.

and on my carb days my only carbs are 3/4 cup oats and 12 oz sweet potato

[shredded_Tris]

I am thinking when we get closer I may just take out a carb meal here and there like take out 6oz sweet potato 3X/week

[shredded_Tris]

7 Weeks out and couldn't be more ready for all this to take shape on stage. People are complimenting me a lot about my conditioning at this point and telling me my face is getting bone dry lol.

Anyways I was 154.6lbs this morning and continueing to press on each day. All I can do is bring my best and Dammit I am trying some hard. This is the hardest I have EVER worked for a show!! Lots of Determination is going into this one! Stay tuned!!

Here are some pics.

Pics were taken this morning before food or cardio

Doing great, keep it up, almost there.

[Delt King]

Looking on the mark for 7 weeks out. Gotta be careful now balancing fat loss and stripping muscle while bodyweight drops. Sometimes dropping more and more weight will make you look worse not better.
Keep it going though! Eye of the tiger man!
