    Yes have been carb cycling for awhile..
    Ensure your high carb days are on high work out days.. monitor your loss and gains.
    4 days high carb, follow with 3 low carb days.
    Tweak per week to find the sweet spot.
    Trial and error for your goals with any macro
    Good luck

    I don't overthink it. I'd say I manipulate my carbs more than anything. In maintenance I have higher carb days when I train, with the carbs being close to before or after my workout. In a deficit, I'm generally very low carb, and will refeed maybe once per week or once every two weeks before a heavy leg day.
