Let's share ideas on counting macros and carb cycling. I have been doing it for a month now and seeing great results but know I can tweak the plans to better my results quicker. Ideas?

    I just looked at IIFYM.com and changed my MFP diary settings. I'm going to try the suggestion IIFYM gave me. (I am trying to lose weight & tone up)

    I did carb cycling during my first competition prep. The results weren't any better than balanced macros during my second competition prep. To me it was unnecessary torture.

    I went through a variety of combinations. None of them seemed superior to others for fat loss. The rate was fairly consistent. Towards the end I was only focused on hitting protein and being flexible with carbs and fat. I came in leaner for my second show that way.
