Three day Low-Carb High-carb cycle
I thought I’d share my current meal plan with you. It’s low on carbohydrates the first three days of the week while I focus mostly on cardio rather than strength. During this period I’m eating about 500 calories below maintenance in order to lose fat. The next three days are high in carbs and calories as I ramp up resistance exercise with the intent of building muscle. The images were produced using DailyBurn Tracker which is a great way to keep track of your calorie and macro-nutrient intake for free. If you want to track sugar consumption as well as some micro-nutrients, you will want to upgrade to the premium version but for most people the free plan should work just fine.
Low-Carb: Monday through Wednesday
High-Carb: Thursday through Saturday
