Quick ? about carb cycling

[waynaferd]

On the no carb days, is that absolutely no carb, or low low, like under 10 or 20? And do veggies count on the no-carb days?

And on the low carb days, is there a general guide to try to keep under?

I did the no carb today, and it was tougher than I thought, but I had absolutely zero carbs (according to the nutrition facts)

Thanks!!

Fibrous vegetables don't count against you. Trace amounts of carbs are in everything. For instance, fat-free cottage cheese has 1%DV carbs. These smaller amounts are negligible.

For low carb days, it works out that I'm eating about .85g per body weight. On high carb day I eat about 1.20g per lb of body weight.

I'm just learning this stuff as well. Hopefully BGLD or JLo will be kind enough to answer you.

EDIT: I'm anal about numbers and this is taking a ton of adjusting too. According to true carb cycling philosophy, you shouldn't be counting anything. Just eat a lot. Preferably 6 times a day centered around protein.
