1g/lb for carbs?

[spectralshadow]

Does anyone follow this for a cutting diet?

I've been getting anywhere from 1.5 to 2g per lb of carbs [around 30-35g fiber] and I've been maintaining my weight [which is what I want], and I've still been extremely hungry. Two days ago I ate over 3k cals in a sitting and I was still completely starving [meal totaled 138 total fat, 400 carbs, 149 protein, 3.4k cals]. I'm not starving myself, by any means. I'm just trying to watch my carb intake to keep it at 1g/lb, but it's not satisfying my hunger.

I'm just curious if anyone has followed this before, and how it impacted weight gain / muscle mass? My protein is sticking to about 1g to 1.5g / lb of my weight, and fat is about .8 of my weight.

I just wish my Nitrean would get here. =[

I've never heard of that rule ever.

when cutting, or just eating right in general, cut out the carbs to drop the fat the quickest.

everyone is different when it comes to carb intake, so eat a meat high in protein and fat, and a meal high in protein and carbs and which ever one u feel energize after thats how you eat for your body type.

most people will drop lots of weight by lowering carbs to lower than 100grams per day


where did u get the 1 gram of carb per pound of bodyweight when cutting? ive heard it for bulking but never cutting

Under macronutrient ratios.
He says "The next macronutrient to consider is carbs. Carbs can either be kept high or low. To begin with, I personally prefer to keep them around 1g/lb of bodyweight when cutting and 1.5g/lb of bodyweight when bulking. Some people will do more carbs and some will do less carbs but that is part of something I will say later though."


I ate a meal of protein and fat earlier; it felt like a completely empty meal [about 1000 cals]. But if I stack on carbs, I feel fine. So I guess I'll try that again ha.

It all depends on your body type and how you personally handle carbs.

I have been cutting on around 100-120g carbs/day and feel good, but I know that I personally don't need/handle carbs that well. More than half of my daily carb intake is structured around my workout.

dont people normally try to shoot for a 40carb/30fat/30protein percentage? or is that generally used for bulking and not cutting?
