What are people's general preferences for carb loading in terms of type, quantity and timing?

Here is how I do it:

14h-16 fast
1-2 400kcal keto meals before workout
50-60 mins DC workout in the evening
60g whey protein, 50g Carbs shake post workout, 2 overly ripen bananas or 100g of chocolate bar
Proper meal of either fish & mashed potatoes or 1/2 chicken & rice
70g of beef protein shake , 2-3 chocolate croissants or similar sweet bread

Going well so far, I recently lost loads of wight on Keto diet, now I am trying to add some lean mass, yet in last 3 weeks I've lost 2lbs (of fat as I am getting stronger and looking bigger / more cut)

What are people's general preferences for carb loading in terms of type, quantity and timing?

before an athletic competition I used to stick with low fiber foods, low pulp juices, pasta, white rice, etc. and maybe some yams to throw in something healthy.

Usually backload with bananas, sweet potatoes, and rice pudding. Maybe some oats. Depending on how frequently i'm loading it'll yield between 150g (5-6 loads a week) to 250g (3 loads a week), to 700g (one load a week).

So a daily load would look like:

5:00pm - Banana, 200g Rice Pudding (60g Carbs)
7:00pm - 2 Large Sweet Potatoes (60g Carbs)
9:00pm - 50g Oats + Cup Milk (40g Carbs)

I don't go in for all this dirty carb stuff. The rice pudding is about as bad as it gets. Usually just have that as a post-training meal because it's easy to eat and i usually feel like hell
