for all the carb cycling experts here, please can you post some of your Carb down and Carb up Menus to help me get started?

Appreciate the

Deb

hi deb,

here's a carb/calorie down menu for me. you could adjust it to get a bit more calories if you wanted. i don't go too low on my carbs for carb down but i really watch the calories, seems to do the trick. good luck

meal plan for today:

breakfast
2 eggs in ghee
3 strips bacon

snack
small apple with 2tabs almond butter

lunch
4 oz hamburger
sauteed kale with ground flax, olive oil, tamari

snack
2 rye crisps with 2 tab hummus

dinner
shrimp 4 oz
cocktail sauce
broccoli

1250 cals
not sure on the carbs cause of the hummus. my guess is that i'm getting somewhere around 50g of carbs

Hi Nepeta:

Could oyu, also, post a carb up menu? I just want to see what is the ratio of carb/fat on a carb up days? I've beein doing some cycling but without counting carbs/fat ratio on different days. Need to get more structural menus.
Thanks a lot,
Dina

here's pretty close to what i would eat during carb up. i also may throw in an extra piece of bacon or egg for breakfast. sometimes the meat servings get a tad larger than 4 ounces. just depends on how hungry i am that day.

breakfast
2 eggs in ghee
3 strips bacon
sometimes i'll add a 1/2 of a grapefruit as well

snack
small apple with 2tabs almond butter

lunch
4 oz hamburger
sauteed kale with ground flax, olive oil, tamari
1/2 cup butternut squash

snack
handful of grapes, rice crackers with tunafish

dinner
12 pieces of sushi with brown rice, salmon, avocado
small salad

Thank you, Nepeta, the menus look good.
I'm planing to start after NY, when the holidays are over.
regards,
D.

dina, look forward to seeing you in the cycling threads after new years
