1400-1500 calorie target carb cycling macro schedule

Posts: 74 Member
so, i spent endless hours working on some carb cycling macro's for myself today, and i thought i would share it with you all, just in case some of you wanted to give it a try. it's focused mainly around kicking your metabolism in order to kep the fat burning, and i'm looking so forward to trying it!
i'm going to make a "recipe book" too, so to say.. where i'll write down all of my meals for each day that i'll eat in the 5 day cycle, so that they'll match the macro's accordingly, and so that i can just look back to them for calorie reference. so, once i finish that (which i will admit, might take a while), i can post it aswell if any of you want it.
just remember, i put a lot of time and effort into this, so please don't take credit for it if you decide to share it.
