    Weird question about carb cycling

    I've noticed that when working out the day after a no carb day my workouts suck unless it's later in the day and I've gotten a few meals in. If it's after just the first meal I feel like garbage.

    So here's what I'm wondering...
    Let's say a typical three days look something this:
    Sat - Low Carb
    Sun - No Carb
    Mon - High Carb and workout day

    Is there any reason I couldn't arrange it like this?...
    Fri PM/Sat AM - Low Carb
    Sat PM/Sun AM- No Carb
    Sun PM/ Mon AM - High Carb and workout day

    Having Sunday night and Monday morning as high carb would boost my glycogen stores in time for my workout on Monday. Any thoughts on this?

    Why not just have the high carb day without the workout and just do the workout the next day. Your body should be better supplied by then.

    Also, how are your fat intake levels?

    I'm not even doing carb cycling right now, I'm just preparing ahead of time.

    No need to reinvent the wheel. just do Cyclical or Targeted Keto ala Lyle McDonald. Your weakness is probably in your numbers. You need calculations to get the most bang for your buck. That and when was the last time you deloaded?
