Current metrics:
250 lbs.
~30% BF
I used to be about 200 pounds back in high school back when I benched about 275 and squatted around 450. I was probably around 20% BF back then too. Suffice it to say, I'm no where near what I used to be. I've realized that I need to start working out again and eating healthy. My current goal is to get back to where I was when I trained in high school. My long term goal would be to get around 10-15% BF. I would probably consider myself an endomorph as I gain weight extremely easy, but I build muscle really fast too.
I'm trying to put together a carb cycling diet with a= high/low/no carb days. I've responded good to low-carb dieting in the past, but gained everything back. So carb cycling seemed like it would be a good fit for me. I put together my no carb day first, as I figured it would be easy to build the low and high carb days off of it. I'll post what I have so far. Please critique or tear apart anything that you find wrong or what I could do to make it better. Thanks.
