I was going to start a thread on this tonight.....
Your high/low/no carbs days are reflective of your activity.
ie your 2 priority work outs will be high carbs days, your rest days are no carbs, and low carbs days on low priority workouts.
T-nation from memory increase and decrease overall calories on high, low and no carbs days which is why your fats went so high.
I go by Carb Cycling 101 that was written out for me by a BB friend who helped me lose my weight last year.
He kept each days calories the same, then altered the macros per Carb variation days (H/L/N).
On a High Carb day, there is no problem having additional calories for maximum protein if you are wanting to maintain/gain LBM.
With T-nation, my high Carb days worked out 2400 calories, and my no Carb day barely made 1200 calories. I seriously can't eat 2400 calories.
Same calories daily - Protein works out the same daily, then swap/change fats & carbs as per activity level.
For me 1429 calories (270 calorie deficit)
High Carb Day
C 161g/ Protein 143g / F 24g
Low (Moderate) Carb Day
C 107g / Protein 161g / Fats 40g
No Carb Day
C 54g / Protein 161g / Fats 63g
I would have 2 high Carb days, 2 Low, 3 No Carb. I work out 3 times a week.
You can see why I say there is nothing wrong with additional Protein calories on a High Carb day, an additional 100 calories (25g Protein) Post WO would be beneficial.
My Macros for maintenance 1500 Cal's
Carbs 150g / Protein 116g / Fat 50g
Viv, when I get my new macros from my Dexa I will work from those, my old dieting macros kill me these days! Not enough food!
Oh how I will look forward to high Carb day!
I am going to have wholemeal pasta on high Carb days as my post workout
I can hit the 160g, but the bulk of that will be post workout.....think wholemeal pasta! Yummo!
Your 225g is massive..... lol
