Here goes; I learned about "carb cycling" from a guy at the gym who has been on the cover of a major men's fitness magazine more than anyone for the past 20yrs. He's 53 now and still at it. Looking in peak physical condition all the time is his job. A man whose opinion I respect. Basically you "cycle" your carbs every 3rd, 4th or 5th day to load glycogen to you muscles. I do about 300gms of carbs every 4th day from white rice or potato's in the late afternoon around 4pm. Throw some chicken and veggies in if you want. Keep your salt low. The rest of the week I do lean protein, protein shakes, lots of veggies, eggs, post-workout carb drinks and No added salt. I've been getting Excellent results from this. Muscles are Noticeably fuller. More ripped. More pumped. Went from a no pack to a 4 pack...going for the 6 pack...Hope this helps...Let me know. Thank you.

If what you're doing is working for you, stick with it. If not, stretch those low days longer and see what happens.
