    Help with carbs??

    Im currently cutting and have lost about 5 pound so far ive been dieting for 5 weeks but was ill for about 1 of them. Anyway my average micros on a training day are about 2937cal/327p/164c/125f. now this varies day to day but i aim for 300g of protein,150carbs and 100+ fat. I weigh 228 pound at between 20/25%bf.

    Now my lifts are starting to drop just slightly but they are dropping. i also feel tired throughout the day. I am basing my carbs around training mostly but i think im going to boost them upto to 200g of carbs a day instead of 150 i think this will help. What do you guys think or would you suggest low carb???

    Thanks in advance

    Really depends man.

    Some people can handle low carbs just fine. They have decent energy, and their strength levels are not too bad either.

    If you find that your lifts are starting to struggle, and you have very little energy, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to add in some extra carbs. If that doesn't work, then try eating at maintaince for a week or two before going back to the diet.
    "It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

    Richard Dawkins


    "Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."
