Low Carb Days

[jimm]

do you eat the same carb sources and just less of it or do you have a favoured carb source when on low carb days?

It depends how low carb you're talking.

For me, low carb means less than 30g so the only source of carbs I'm getting is from vegetables. Even that is minimal.

As above, depends how low you class low. I have 4 different days regarding carb amounts. Leg days - up to 400g. Chest 200g. Shoulders/back 150g and rest days where I go <30g only from vegetables.

I try and balance it out in a week, so I don't take in too much.

I get mine mainly from green veggies on low carb days as they're very low in carbs meaning you can eat a ton of them to ensure you're full up.

Mushrooms are awesome too at only 0.4% carbs!

Getting carbs from veggies is a great idea, except they usually don't contain a lot except for a few like corn and tomatoes.
As long as most of your carbs come from sources that also provide other nutrients like fiber and vitamins and minerals, then you're doing good.

Fruit, vegetables, whole grain bread, sweet potatoes, oats, whole grain rice, potatoes, legumes.
