carb cycling

Can anyone explain this a little bit more? I understand that u need to eat one day high carbs and then low carbs the next day but how much protein, carbs and fats do I need to eat?

If you are wanting to carb cycle to keep fueled up for your training program it is pretty easy.
Training days you eat more carbs and rest days you eat less carbs.
( if you are doing the train low concept you will need to go study that as I don't do it or know much about it other then I have accidently done it and suffered dearly for it )
Set your macros for your baseline protein and fat then just increase your carbs on training days to meet your calorie goal.

You can use IIFYM to determine your macros based on your needs.

Well different cycles are different. I eat a turbo cycle. It is two lc 1 hc 2lc one free day. On lc days I eat 5 × a day 1st meal has 1 carb 1 protein 2 veggies 1 fat then all other meals are 1 fat 1 protein 2 veggies. On hc days every meal 5× is 1 carb 1 protein 2 veggies no fats. Free day is anything. Up to 2100 cals. Lc days 1300 hc days 1500. Carbs is a half cup brown rice 1 potato etc. Protein is a half cup to 1 cup or 3 to 4 oz . Veggues is 2 cups. Fat is 1 tbsp.

I do cgris powells chooses more lose more. There are 4 cycles to choose from. Nice, and easy to understand and follow.

Yikes, that sounds complicated.. What does a turbo cycle correlate to ? Or why would somebody chose that ? I guess what I am trying to figure out, how can can I use that to my benifit ?
