What I am trying to figure out is how to time my carbs.
I leaned out earlier this year using keto but I am still holding 20-25lbs of fat I would like to slowly shed. If I was just lifting I could do keto again but the mma training is pretty intense and I can't make it through practice on zero carbs.
Here is my bsic training day, see you think I should be eating my carb meals.
5am.....half hour shadow boxing & functional training
6am.....Hour hike in the woods with 20 minutes running in the middle
8am.....CrossFit workout (20 minutes)
noon....1.5 hrs wrestling practice (only 3 days a week)
Lay around and eat till 5pm
6pm.....1.5 hours mma practice
8pm.....1.5 hours yoga and stretching plus corrective exercises EOD
10pm....DC style workout very short and intense(M, W & F) EOD
So I am doing about 4-6 hours of trainhg 5 days a week. I can eat around 3000-3500 calories a day and maintain my weight
Protein is around 200-250g
Carbs is between 250-400g
Fats about 60-80g
I'd like to get my carbs down to around 250-300 grams a day but I am not sure the best place to eat them so I get optimal energy from them.
I train Sat morning and then take the rest of the day off and all of Sunday off. Can I cut out carbs on Sundays?
Any suggestions?
Here's the foods I eat:
Protiens: beef, chicken, fish, pork, egg whites
Carbs: green leafy veggies, fruits, bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes
Fats: olive oil, fish oil, mac oil, raw nuts
I am gererally ravonously hungry untill I get about 3500 cals in me on my training days, then I finally feel like not eating everything in site. If it is a non-traing day or a light day, I get full on 2700 cals.
Thanks Guy's!
