This morning i woke up and looked shredded. Im definitely doing carb backloading the right way this time around. Ive made many attempts at using the dietary protocol in the past but have always gotten a little fat in the process. This is because in the book he says slam carbs until you go to bed. This may work well for the average Joe but not for me. If i didn't have a fast metabolism before i started weight training, without a doubt, i would have been obese instead of skinny fat. When i was given the ability on the back loading diet to eat as much as i wanted, i did just that. My guess is that my backload days had me hovering around 7-8 thousand calories a day and i wasn't doing cardio. I can eat, i will eat until i feel sick, and then, i will eat more once the urge to throw up passes. So the, don't worry about tracking thing does not apply to me. With that being said though, i still seem to be able to enjoy a fair serving of carbs post training and still wake up ripped.
My yesterday macros
Protein 293
Fats 117
Carbs 322
And the day before
Protein 245
Fats 127
Carbs 386
Both days i have woken up looking ripped but today, i looked exceptionally peeled. So my take home from this is to try and keep my backloads between 300-350 grams carbs, keep protein at above 1.3 grams per pound of body weight and fill in the rest with fats. My weight today was 181. Carb backloading is a tool you can use to cut loose a little but don't abuse it or you will get fat.
