Age : 22
Gender : Male
Height : 5’8
Weight : 71kg
Bf% : 11-12%
BMR (boditrax scan) : ~1850 kcal
Maintenance (calculated with a formula) : 2212 kcal
For the last four months I’ve been consuming 2512kcal (maintenance +300), consisting of P200 F88.7 C227.95 or
P150 F88.7 C277.95 on workout days. Then 1712kcal (maintenance -500), consisting of P150 F57 C149.6 on rest days.
I had been training four to six days a week.
I would like to start cutting for summer now.
The game plan is:
- to train four days a week, continuing to carb-cycle.
- three days a week I’ll eat at maintenance
- one day a week I’ll eat at maintenance +300 kcal
- three days a week I’ll eat at maintenance -500 kcal
The weekly calorie total is [(maintenance x7) - 1200]
So I have three questions
- whilst carb cycling, on low carb days should you eat
[maintenance -500kcal] or [BMR -500kcal]?
- at 11-12% bodyfat should I make that [maintenance +300 day] a refeed day instead?
- did anything come to mind as you read my game plan?
