Carb Cycling Plan

Currently in the process of creating a carb cycling meal plan to use in the near future before going down south. Framing the plan around Tim Henrique’s article carb cycling for fat loss. To start with im going to go with 2 “high” days a week with 5 “normal days.”

On low days shooting for around 200-250 gs of protein/100gs of carbs, 50-60 gs of fat. On high days 200-250gs or protein/300gs or carbs/50-60 grams of fat. Gradually as i get leaner plan on implementing more cardio and lowering the higher carb days. Currently at about 5’9.5… 194lbs between 13-15% body fat. Goal would be to get down to about 180-185 and hover around 9-10%.

Here is the meal plan Ive created for high and low days, please critique what you would add or take out! Thanks in advance!
