Do any of you gymaxxers carb cycle (high carbs low fats, moderate protein on training days and then lower carbs higher fats, moderate protein on rest days)

Sounds like a good idea as higher carbs may cause unnecessary bloating and may even make you less insulin sensitive which will primarily turn you into a fatass.

But others say that higher carbs daily is optimal even if its a rest day

Alright yh I will do
I still have a few more questions lol

1) thoughts on electrolyte powders, especially potassium citrate heavy ones. And also if it’s better of to just take epler and get potassium through food and drink

2) would u recommend carb cycling or to just keep carb, fat and protein amount the same everyday no matter if is a training day or rest

3) thoughts on tracking calories, specifically macros

4) regarding original question and question 3, how many grams of carbs would u reccomend to me to have if i want a balance between facial and physique aesthetics
1 Personally when I’m on epleronone I just drink lots of milk water and when I do cardio I just take LMNT electrolytes. Get normal amounts of potassium...
Consistent protein and higher carbs on days you need more energy

Just get carbs before every workout/ cardio session it’s the key to stay skinny and de bloated of course

Keep gymmaxxing or take epleronone

Preciate it, and what about after just potatoes and
Fruit ?

Iv noticed today after eating 400g of carbs trying to replenish myself after being in an aggressive cut (which I looked allot more angular and chiseled due to 50-100g of carbs a day but also allot smaller) I looked allot more bloated and puffy
 
Preciate it bhai. So say I plan on going to the gym instead of eating oats a few hours before should I just eat like Fruit and honey 30 minutes before the gym then just potatoes or smth after

Don’t eat oats it’s peasant food and try to get in simple carbs 30 min before workout and in workout days eat complex carbs like 3 hours before like potatoes or yams

Oh ok are u also suggesting me to carb cycle so lower carbs on rest days and higher carbs on training days

Also how many grams would u say on training days and how many on rest days
 
How are the results with epler, when I do my I mart order I’m gonna get some
Results are fucking phenomenal but you need to be cautious for hyperkalemia and electrolyte disregulation. Epleronone reboots you permanently let me know if you order it

2 keep everything the same. Carbs are also key for recovery

3if you want to loose weight or gain muscle tracking your macros is extremely important

4 ask ChatGPT with all your values like height weight and your physique objectives

Body recomposition is the correct word brother
Mb spelling error I edited it but it didn’t go through.

Chat gpt said 140g protein, 65g fat , 290g carbs. Il test this out and tbh today I tried to eat allot of salt and at one point put some in water and chugged it. That’s probably what caused the bloat

Lmk what u think abt the macros in terms of balance between mogger facial bloatness and muscle fullness

I think it’s okay. You need to try it out and change it here and there depending on how you are feeling corresponding to the bloatness/ energy levels

Normally the more chisseled/de bloated you are the less energy you will have so keep it healthy

Also eat clean foods of course and keep your micronutrients up to have great health indicators

Yeah gotcha. I also think the sprinkling
Salt in water contributed to it. I think im
Forcing allot
Of
Salt due to beliefs that sodium is very good so I think il just mainly get sodium and potassium from food instead of buying suppliments lmk what u think

Don’t worry me too I’m on the phone and English isn’t my primary language. It really helps me too increase my lexic and word choices.
