If you don't have any insulin related medical conditions then there won't be any metabolic benefit to going on a low carb program. That being said, during cutting and bulking phases you will typically draw more calories from carbs (reduce them on a cut) due to your protein and fat minimums.

EDIT: In other words, your minimums for P/F will stay relatively consistent so as the need arises to reduce cals, carbs will be a good candidate to reduce. I'm generalizing.

I guess it's all said, generally, If there's no insulin related problems, it's all about intake more calories a day than you need while bulking, and less while cutting, keep it simple, you'll handle it pretty well
