| Registered User | Question about Carbs I think I am eating carbs in excess. What percentage of my calories should come from carbs? I am trying to gain muscle without gaining fat, and a rarely do cardo. Although, I do a lot of cycling when it warms up. ![]() |

| NutraPlanet Representative | A pretty standard and a good place to start with is a 40/40/20 macro split (protein/carbs/fat.) Try this out and adjust after you see how your body responds. Random bread picture btw lol. What kind is that? Quality Products, Quality Service, Quality Prices NOW AVAILABLE: NutraPlanet TNT Stack™ |

| Nimbus Nutrition Board Rep | yea 40/40/20 is the starting point. From there you must determine how well your body tolerates carbs. Depending on how well your body does you can get away with more/less. Just make sure the majority of your carbs should be breakfast, pre/post workout. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 |

That is a massive pumpernickel. The best bread on the planet. ![]() Ive been eating around 45% carbs... I'll try downing my bread intake and up my protein. It can be difficult to get that much protein some days! | |

| NutraPlanet Representative | Haha never had it. 45% isn't unreasonable but it does depend on your body type and goals. What are your current stats? You said you are trying to gain size so 45% isn't all that high but depends on a few things. Quality Products, Quality Service, Quality Prices NOW AVAILABLE: NutraPlanet TNT Stack™ |

| NutraPlanet Representative | Yea theres a couple things I would try to change to see how you respond. First would be to get your protein up to 1 gram/pound. Try to get the fat content down (avoid butter if you can, theres probably a lot of calories coming from it) and replace it with some healthy fat sources. Instead of butter pick up some PAM cooking spray (or the I can't believe its Not Butter F/F Spray if you want the taste of butter.) Also olive oil is very healthy but don't use it for cooking. I've seen those bread platter things before, they look pretty cool. I'm not a big fan of dips and such so I'll just stick with my whole wheat bagels .Quality Products, Quality Service, Quality Prices NOW AVAILABLE: NutraPlanet TNT Stack™ |
