    You question is not too clear for my Saturday's mind, and the title of your post and the question don't match, Could you please clarify?

    No.
    But what are you trying to achieve by carb cycling?

    Ok.. I thought I'd give carb cycling a go. And have more carbs on training days and less on the other days. To loose some body fat , currently 25% bf. 5ft 1in and 50 kg. Just wondering if when you cut down carbs does it mean simple carbs like fruit and vegetables as well. Thanks.

    How was the body fat % calculated? Do you know for sure how accurate it is?

    Calculated it on the Internet based on sex and waist measurements and wrist and bicep measurements

    I doubt that is accurate and I wouldn't be relying on it. Do a visual, do you look flabby? What exercise are you currently doing? Weights?
