cycling carbs for pre-contest...

[Sexual Mustard]

hey guys, I have a question. What is the basic rule of thumb when doing a "high" carb day during cutting? Obviously you can go as low as 0 carbs, but what's the general rule for the high end without risking excess carbs to spill over into fat in relation to bodyweight/total caloric intake? (i.e., 2 grams carbs/lb of bodyweight? 50% of total calories? I don't know.....). Remember, this is pre-contest, not bulking....thanks guys.

65% of your day's calories should be from carbs on carb up day
