    How much carbs?

    Should one take if they are cutting? I am having a hard time figuring out on how much is enough or too little.

    This depends on what type of diet you are on and how much of a deficiency it is creating. It will also depend on your weight, fatness, genetics, gender etc etc.

    For example - You will get a much larger initial effect on a keto type diet because of water loss. People who are smaller will tend to see less of an effect from dieting because they can not create as large a calorie deficiency (without starving themselves)... Females also tend to respond to diets more slowly...

    Typically, on regular diets I will usually suggest waiting at least 2-3 weeks after starting to see the effect that the diet is having. After this time, if your weight/BF is not changing as you would like, then it probably means you need to change something.
