Ideal Cutting P/C/F

[Deano]

Bobo, or anyone that might have some insight on this. What would
you say is the ideal macro breakdown for a cutting diet. I am currnetly
on a timed carb diet but was wondering what all of you thought. Also, i
workout first thing in the morning, so would it be best to eat atleast
some whey before lifting. I will be doing low intensity cardio on an empty
stomach on non training days and probably 20 min of low intensity after
training. Any info would be a great help guys.

Bobo, i guess i should not have said "ideal" what i ment to say

was that since i am coming off of a low carb diet where would
be a good place to start. I know you dont like low carb diets and that is
one of the reasons i posted it here. Would something like a 40/30/30 split
work? I also know that being that i amcoming off of a low carb diet i need to
introduce them slowly. Thanks

40/40/20 would proably be the best considering your situation. Just keep the fats clean and the carbs low-mod GI and you should be just fine.

Thanks Bobo,

I will try that, and work my way up to that amount of carbs
over a period of about 2 weeks. I have been reading a lot of your
posts since you started being a trainer and i think as soon as i buy
my house i will be added to the list clients of yours.

what is 40/40/20?

what is 40/40/20?

40% protein calories, 40% carb calories, 20% fat calories

logik bear in mind each gram of protein and carbs contain 4 calories and each gram of fat contains 9 calories

so 200 grams of protein = 800 calories
200 grams of carbs = 800 calories
200 grams of fat = 1800 calories
