Yes i wear a heart rate monitor that way it gives me a target to get to before i come off the cross trainer.
So my high days should still be less cals than im consuming at the moment how much would you drop the protein and are my low days ok.
Cheers for the heads up on the rice its been white...
Cardio wise cross trainer i aim to burn 400 cals on the thing in 22 mins.
So on my high carb days im having roughly 289grams of carbs 300grams protein and 42grams of fat. 2800 cals.

So after reading more and more i know that at 167.5lbs my maintanance is around 2800

My diet is on a 4 day low carb 1 day high carb cycle where i am eating 2167 cals...
I was 231lb of pure fat lol.

I was thinking carbs 47% protein 38% and fats 15% and see where that gets me are they good...

I have been cutting for ages and lost a lot of weight but i have done this in ketosis stage and had my protein relitivly low for a long time.
